Caves

Elijah’s cave
Moses’ crag.

Presence.

Passing, fleeting 

(Good) by

How we have strained

To grasp the finger

Of God, to touch

The One behind the prints.

But how sly to see

Here and then gone.

Always beyond.

Beyond and above.

Beyond and above 

Bethlehem 

A star

Over a cave 

And in the cave 

Presence

To stay.

Hi, there! My name is Stephanie and I’m a Fresno, CA native. After studying at Biola University, I received my MLIS (Masters in Library Science) from San Jose State University. I live with my mom, poet Kimberly Vargas Agnese, and serve as her unofficial agent. We reside at MeadowArc, a food forest in its infancy. I am called to, and passionate about, purity. In fact, the name Agnes means “pure.” Before I was born, my mom felt led to include the name Agnes in her name, and in the names of her children. My full, hyphenated name includes 26 letters (but not the whole alphabet).
