The Bell · Signal

Rung once a day, then silence.

A small dispatch from the crossing. Composed in the morning and not revisited, which is the only way a daily thing stays daily.

2026-09-04 · theme: threshold · alludes to Ezekiel 47:9

A doorway is not a wall that gave up; it is a wall that learned to listen. All week I have stood in one, half-lit, watching the river the prophet saw — how fish return to bitter places, how healing keeps a slow schedule. The bucket forgets. The well remembers. Cross slowly. What lives, lives where the water arrives. Evening comes. I stay in the frame a little longer.

Composed today.
