 A Journey Lighted by the Aurora Polaris

       15 Chinese Elephants are on a long march north
                           and no one knows why 
				New York Times, June 2021

	forget the fallen
​	embrace the risen
​	the unexpected vision 
	exposes the hidden

beyond village and farmland 
fifteen great lumbering endlings
move in heavy unrelenting folds
through the wrinkled gray

a fallen industrial world tatters ties 
an unwarranted lacuna
stalls the engine of the ordinary--
distance is now the imperative

singularity names them all
provides remembered diasporas 
a heightened sense of new well being
a buffer of shared belonging 
 
admit the hidden path to Polaris 
guidance transmitted silently
by delicate vibrations whispered
into the elephant ear

	 A Les and Fran Braided Poem

(Les Bernstein  and Fran Claggett-Holland)

Sent from the imaginal realm.
