something ticklish in the truth

the rhetoric of complications

the central question of being

the unattainable provokes

to remember is to remember to remember.

necessary in the course of answering

in every experience we carry

the place against our intentions

a relation of constant inversion

the question does not change

the only act of perhaps

your surrogate self

seek emphasis

accumulated to give

knowledge made incremental

the problem with everything

all the meaning sheared away

everything is valid

a myopic conception of history

may it suffice

nothing came before

carried away by the present

contrast without the intervention

the process that leads

the urge for trouble

the future indwelling

deliverance and beginning

a wilderness associated

the paradox you're comfortably in

a translation of meanings

wandering oblivious

against the roof of your breath

though it also refers

returning to iterations

in familiar discord and discourse

anticipations of the future

holding on to nothing

the echo of something murmuring

the tones and timid vigilance of solitude

the enemy is our chattering

Collage Paper Grab Bags

inhabiting the things

a cell beholding a heart

were one asked

the general rush of things

carefulness is all that we do

affections come in the character

a general basis of consolation
