desire

is nature in a final cause
of a future that knows how to grow itself
not for nourishment but for immortality

or

is nature in a material cause
of a past that cultures ignorance
not for nothing though nothing be its resiliency

the forester in the wood

all of this
if there is an on & off
is technique
but if all of it
is nothing but this
not even those who die
live

the head of a nail

spilting air

without is not the other side but rather the side itself in peril

—a danger that is without the power to divide

the now

its only the whether

Without is what tomorrow is all about but only if tomorrow is without
what it will be about

Who Knows?

what waste upon what waits?
fire
before-a-leaf is after-a-leaf
whenever what lies between
is a hole—as it is with “seed”
perforce this dark stars proclaim
there is only desire

the ignorant

what thrives

to drown eternity
even as thinking struggles to part the flood
the “middle” finds a way & in every swimmer
this is what survives

when i dream of the sea

thinking aside and therefore (like other worlds) words as well
Aside All to a side

what is here (in "the middle" whose soul sides with the surrender)
but a swimmer?

Aside All to a side

a conscious river
