Cecilia Vicuna - Cloud Net





the book
is the knot

and the scribe
ah k’u hun

“of the sacred book” (Cloud-Net 52)


but fate is not
the force that predetermines events
as the dictionary says
fate is to speak
and you fate yourself as you speak

(“Er,” Cloud-Net 34)

and they came to a mysterious place, at which
there were two chasms

the myth says
two heavenly openings

and two earthly openings

by one of each pair souls departed
and by the other they came back

and there
in that intermediate space

(Cloud-Net 34)


The first weaving must have been the crisscrossing of grass and twigs, for building a nest or a shelter to give birth, or twisting vines to make rope. But to get from that early imitative gesture to spinning wool requires a powerful leap of imagination—noticing, perhaps, that any piece of wool, either caught by the wind, or by an object in passing, tends to form a spiral. When a person rubs these two fingers together, whatever is between the fingers spins, either to the right or to the left. Everything around us has this spinning energy in it, which probably originates in that first spiraling energy coming out of the big bang, spinning things out from a center. (Cloud-Net 18)

Has the earth lost its cool?

Did we lose a moist place within? A place where tolerance and moderation reside?
(Cloud-Net 90)


As the weather becomes more extreme, the difference between rich and poor intensifies, diseases go wild, and the poet dreams of enlarging her stitch, of cooling herself and the earth at once.

Pachacuti el soƱar

Space/Time reversals: the dream,

keeping balance

(Cloud-Net 91)
