WORK IN PROGRESS
“The between is not approached in a diadic way, nor in a dialectical way: there is fluidity of interplay between the so-called natural and the philosophical attitudes that is closer to the Socratic-Platonic practice of dialectic.” Desmond, The Voiding of Being, 200.
O there you are, mute
swans, dazzling in spring sunshine,
as if you never
left. You make the bay
blue. You come and go, while war
petrifies our hearts.
Your irrelevance
makes nonsense of all the non-
sense on every side.
Above all, wrestlers
of available light, you
renew our belief.
