While he was praying his face changed in appearance 
and his clothing became dazzling white.
(Lk 9:28) 


Knee-Deep in Lake Chateaugay


1

Caught in a
moving web

a running net
of light 

which did not
catch the

feet or trip
so some

subtle water web
seemed at

work vanishing
without light

 

2 

Christ touching
through images

so fleeting—
absences

realer than
realities

nightmares—

eyes adjusted
to
darkness 

are blinded
by
light 

and so close—
some
spit and mud

are required
for
healing
