I know the words
The long-learned words
With which this view is framed
These slats of wood I crafted round
The Opening…
➰
Yet there it lies, unshut before me
The rawness of the world
Behind my words I kneel, now
Afraid to stop their flow’s intent
In widening my wood
➰
One day the words will be unspeakable
The splinters brushed aside
By the eye beyond the Opening
And we – the world and it’s child
Will speak in unbroken silence
➰
