“Untitled”
By bpathos
Untitled because it is not about any one thing. It is of the stuff written
about, untamed, undiscovered… un yet. That which is just beyond. Before
the hand reaches it, before the eye sees, before the mind pours it into
the shape that is comprehensible. It is pure. It is debauched. It is half
and complete. It is the blind mice playing a symphony with small instruments
in Schrödinger's black box where he suspects a cat to be. It is the mother
of “Ah Ha” and the father of “Eureka” that is this tear.
Be neither this nor that
He nor she thin or fat
Be and being not
From any given lot
That grail of poetry
That makes it be
This lightless paint
What tis and taint
Who may choose may
Find who chooses say
It choose me instead
I am and was dead
Be rabbit or sacred star
Do I follow and how far
If I am weary I resume
My fleshy wick consumed
So big… yet so small
So… yet… so it is all
Great be in my being again
Now at least I have been
