The man and woman
Smiling at the Grand Canyon
Ring the empty gulf
From the bright plateau
A dread animal's echo
Barking for water
Plummets the canyon
A metallic wave scrapes rock
Two billion years thick
The couple covers
With geologies of uplift
The ancient gorge
The animal sees
The cascading passion
Of breath and running rain
In the dry abyss
Where earth forever swallows
Everybody thirsts.
About Me
- Anthony Zuba
- New York, New York, United States
- I was born Sept. 27, 1977, in Flushing, NY, and raised in North Babylon, NY. From the suburbs of Long Island I moved to the hills and gorges of Ithaca, NY, studying at Cornell University. There, my spirit was awakened, and everything changed. The Spirit that stirred my spirit brought me to Baltimore and then to Boston. I studied at Boston University School of Theology and learned better how I wanted to live. Today, I am a Capuchin Franciscan friar in perpetual vows. Yesterday, I was a community organizer in Boston, an editor in New York, and a teacher in Baltimore. Tomorrow, God only knows. Many things interest me, though nothing in particular. I have an abiding interest in living simply and living well. Life that is authentic interests me.
