Steps As Shadows

Till then, a task far harder still awaits thee: thou hast to feel thyself ALL-THOUGHT, and yet exile all thoughts from out thy soul (The Voice of Silence, 66).


I’m nowhere, adrift but everywhere, that casual atmosphere—as pardoned his life, accustomed to ink, buried in den-man-ship. I’m ever afar, as closer a dimple, so lost—so found: that beautiful swan, that achy fever, those countless wasps—as saw his face, that “fixity of mind,” abased but mystic a dream—to stress but stress-less, or move as unmoved, while cringing tranquility: such musicality, as purified attentions, those cycles of ages, by fire that “Guardian Wall”: as terrors to live, that seventh gate, to pass such blissful entrance; as moreover a flee, or captured a fly, our blues on repeat; that deep sorrow, as losing by wins, that grin that gorgeous sorrow.

We reappear, sitting aside ourselves, peering at strangers: that deep ecstasy; our thisness as thatness, those trumpets so silent—as moving by ponds, that static motion, such casual extensions; to plummet his core, or plumage such arcs, afforded one kiss to transcend. I though it us, to face our faces, encased in a pit of faces—by shorn discernment, that cryptic fire, our stomachs growling.
