WORK IN PROGRESS
“Would it be correct to say our concepts reflect our life?
They stand in the middle of it.” Wittgenstein, Remarks on Color III 302
It seems unlikely
but cresting, crusting Bay waves
once again roll in.
Last time seemed the first
and last time that Spring prevailed
over the world’s weight.
Ducks flap over ice-
edges and keep their balance.
Nothing comes to mind
like this. I awake
to what is other to thought
and the death of thought.
What I don’t know gives
me a lift as I let go
of my mind’s deep flow.
