In this collection, James Thomas Fletcher writes about lost letters and lost love, the hazards of living in a foreign land, the nature of silence, and the poetic movement of Tai Chi. Mercury & Moonlight is filled with emotional candor and lyrical beauty. Explore these short samples for a glimpse inside.. THE PLUTOCRAT Stranded in an after-hours bar Cubby holes lined with bookshelves And no way home, I pick up My first Booth Tarkington and begin. With each read This book embeds itself into me. PASSING CLOUDS Water flows over stones into mist floating above mountains.Your hands become clouds, softly they sway before you. Circles swirl on the peripheryas you turn, moving rainbows aside.In silky twilight you dancewith the rising moon.Steel moonbeams guard your flank. LEAP OF FAITH A man I never met comes to my casita. I give him a stack of hundred-dollar bills and he leaves without counting them. No receipts on either side. I've been in Panama less than a week.At the corner I buy oatmeal-milk and corn-milk. I find cans of tuna filled with vegetables. The reality of this casita fails to match its photos on the internet.My wife cries the first night.What have we done? echoes in our minds. Today the man returns with my new car and all the Panamanian paperwork and insurance. A car with four glove boxes in the dash. One heated and cooled. This car isn't sold in the States.This life isn't found in the States.Check your expectations at the door and leapinto a new culture. Planet Earth exists beyond the bordersof America. Cookie-cutter houses and livesare all you've known. For once, throw your soularound the way you do your money.
