No Time To Play With Cowrie Shells

Cat. iphone 12 Pro Brushstroke app

No time to play with cowrie shells, tea leaves, coins,
objects of performance; no time for ritual either.

You stand cooking much of nothing, offering 
neither tea nor directions to the way.

What light can you shine into brilliance of an overly lit sky?

Just cookies.  

— Jacqueline Johnson from poem Oracle
