Publisher's Synopsis
Each poem compiled; is hewed from the rock and a hard place indeed. What could tilt our world as we know it? Aiye-Ko-ooto goes into nature with this anthology, analogizing the struggle and experience. When; what; or who; we believe is part of us tears away (mosses from beeches). Leaving us to deal with the life after. The 50 poems are in 5 movements. Starts with "Walls of Darkness" - reflects on "no blood left" to affirm the lost bond. We're left without a strength of life to hold on to. Second, "World of cacophony" - presents commoners' view of the world; simple, ideal and neighborly; planted in these hands by the departed mosses. Third, "From Dust and Burned Stones" - when we seek refuge in the night. Often, thereafter we linger in the "Wash of Silence" - we wonder why the departed still finger our dreams. Finally, "Relic Dwarfed" - "do not disturb, twigs in winter" stage. Where all appears white on the outside, but we really want nobody to come near! How fragile we can be?
