”There is a further negation required: the being of selving…everything that is from the ground up is nothing, were it not for the gift of the origin.” Desmond G&B 273f
The milky sheen on
the Bay this warm day in May
demands attention
of unforgiving
no’s. No. No. Sunday painters
like me should go home.
It calls forth one’s own
Nothingness. Oneness passes.
Readiness is all.
