Primal Man and His MacBook Air

4:56 a.m.

Alone.  Quiet.  Cold.  Sitting in the forest.  I am kiln sitting.  A full moon is on.  Reading The Ancient Text.   Anticipating dawn.  This soda kiln roars like an avalanche of fire down a ravine but in the woods it is more like an accompaniment instrument.  A layer of dark orange outlines the eastern horizon broken up by the trees I sit among.  I am alive because each exhale is documented by glowing steam between me and this screen and I think of the irony of human, fire, forest and MacBook Air—5000 years ago all the technology was the same except for that one piece. 

Full moon sitting.
