Monica Beisner, Capricorn Leaps from Winter to Spring (1978)

WILD SPIRIT SOARS AT MOONRISE The mountains leap like rams and angels light up with joy— the new world is here. Thunder, thunder— for a hundred miles the light does not fade. Mysterious virtue knocks on my door: "Sincerity precedes fortune and felicity." Awake, awake— joy & gladness in my wilderness garden, my bones, my heart and spirit all on fire, five fingers and one hand— just perfect! The last word— absolutely beyond telling— noon & midnight, face to face with desire snow on the thousand peaks. We're home again— daisies & birds flutter down to that great courageous place we have never seen! Peter Y. Chou Mountain View, 8-5-2002
