“They who have put out the peoples’ eyes reproach them
of their blindness.” – John Milton
Hanging
between
the mystery & tender fury
we are seeking
our truth
and finding
our void
Floating one breath away
from the broken
code
our chosen vocabulary
is whittling reality
down to
politics and separation
Now there is only that
twist of precision
concealed
and the price of
seeing is silence
a truth we are
slow to learn
