Excerpt from Treaty# by Armand Garnet Ruffo:On the Day the World Begins Again Treaty# On the day the world begins again will it be the strongest animal the swiftest bird or the tiniest insect that carries the news to humankind announces rebirth in a roar in a squeak or maybe in silence? On the day the world begins again will luminous light rise from parting clouds in unquestionable power and refract a miraculous prism of colour while the tallest white pine announces peace in a sprinkling of communion?  On the day the world begins again will those suspended behind bars in and between grey ugliness in their deadened shouts of protest float beyond their circle of cigarette burns and crude tattoos beyond their sharp cries of where they are and wish they were?

At first, he ventures out at dawn, but as time passes, the mountain seems to turn against him, forcing him to rem...
