Nothing Comes From Nothing
De Nihilo
Nihil
Doomed to an
internal privilege
humanity keeps
swelling
having merited
its sentence –
from billions
who lived
a single one got
resurrected.
And So On
Et Cetera
The wind herds a
flock of clouds
as ever
as tomorrow
it’s beautifully
prickly
under a
cautiously autumnal sun
Our bodies’ life
is short
but not the one
of pines
or of the river
our shadows
haunt them
to melt away
thereafter
as they did
today
as they ever do
Remarkable To Say
Mirabile
Dictu
don‘t trust the
eyes
they equal a
soul
or so they say
withhold your
trust
all kinds of
thoughts
haunt the
clearance of sky and earth
everybody’s
nothing’s sanctuary
lend no trust
faulty night
dreams flicker
truths burn out
like a torch
he is rich who
has
he is rich who
hasn’t
blessed are the
hands
mopping up the
step
towards the
temple
