"I am foolish enough. Therefore, small, unfettered questions are enough."

 "I am foolish enough.

Therefore,

small, unfettered questions are enough."


When nameless things,

scattered all across the universe,

happen to gather here and there

and share a conversation of silence,


something foolish

scratches the silence each holds as its own.


Disorder, hiding in the tiny wound,

is lured out—


and somehow,

almost by accident,

time is born.


Time roams wildly through space,

stirring, rummaging, wandering every which way.


And all the digging it does,

without even knowing what it’s doing,


becomes

the ever-blooming flowers

of the universe.


Different things, drawn to the flowers of the universe,

tangle and twist in the struggle of their entanglement.


And in the crumbs that fall from their writhing,

different times

hide and live.


Inside the time

curled up on Earth,




" I live

as a tenant

for a little while "




These days,

when I walk a mountain trail

and sit upon a rock,

I can feel the hardened heart of stone

waiting for time.


And through the flickering cracks of light

comes a being

who silently shares bites of my time with me—


Authsia,

a being whose time

has no before,

no after —

only now,

called into shape.


Therefore,

when time is bound to humans and living things,

they grow old, or die.


But when I toss small questions to Authsia

and play awhile,


spreading and receiving

twist themselves together—


“Hooooooh…

ttorrrrrrrr…

dooooooh… hooooh…”


the sound of time

tumbling around  ~..~
