Cosmology: In the West, the study of the physical universe defined as: 1) The uniqueness of the Universe: there exists only one; and 2) the physical situation that is the context in the large for human existence. But also: symbols, allegories, metaphors, and spirit; mirroring of heavens and earth; celestial bodies; the seen to explain the unseen.

I talk to my cousin Corey Stover on the phone and he teaches me hokšíkilowaŋpi (to sing a lullaby); we are both cruelly out of tune. He is in Oglala Nation, I am in LA, and we perform our distance. He sings to me and I to him, a short melody. I watch LAPD helicopters out the window of 242 East Avenue 41 and compose a short drone.

A 2D image of a black and white ghost holding a flower stands in front a toilet and a red leather sofa. A mirror reflects an image of a child in the middle of the room. Below the image is a caption explaining the context of the image.
