The More We Know The More We Roam

Img_5444 There is great fatness in those who speculate. Much fatness fixed by admired contemplation. Fecund, these excesses, like the citizen-ecstasy that clings to us as we, this solidarity of intent, make cellular our way through trees that sprawl into being. Much admired fatness in us who consider ontologies as forests fraught with death. That their hushed dark be of an absence decay sanctifies. That every "ending" of root cap & meristem penetrate the sprawl of emptiness. That the "thought" of Q. fecundus sustain the thing itself at rest yet restless within the acorn's munificence.

Much admired, those who speculate increase as the satisfaction of energy & this generation the ineffable satisfaction of the empty. To say the fatness of creation companions voids that engender the spoil of stars. This sprawl of light, its ruin to give rise to the speculation of ferment, of filaments alive in this hushed dark; learning to thrive in this absence decay has discovered—a reason why the dead sink; why gas, dust & intelligence drift into solum. The charity of a tree or a sun that makes for a sun or a tree fat with speculation.

And of course, the reason for acorns.

I Kings 2

To Solomon, King David spoke: “I am going the way of all earth.” So it be the perpetuated solum to sink us into immortality. But who among flesh, that sleep with decay & dream the sleep of the dead, will not wake from this unsettled beyond in a stench of lion by the old bone fence & a heart stamping the dark till a sun decide?

To coil & flop like a snake pinned by its snout---raptor of our wasting, of our worries to squeeze breath out of thought? What king-to-be not fear the ease of ruin, the grazing fauna hidden in spoil---the void of soil & its perishing film, water of last-flora to take us out of life? Digest & excrete each david, solomon & rehoboam (thus this very loam) because nothing is left that is not everlasting?
Img_5534 The horror of putrescence it seems is the the shame of a naked singularity?

Where Love Lies
