2.
To be neither circling nor completely still.
To ask what conditions give rise to understanding.
To sit in the dark a long while.
To escape the quotidian with the quotidian.
To pose a question that can’t be answered
with a no.
To think white is a sacred colour.
To understand fear as a circumstance.
To want to run from your body.
To think on what choices leave silent.
To take it by the handle, knowing the possibility
of such a thing at this height.
To think on other kinds of china.
To think possibilities are circumstantial.
To think white is waiting to be stained.
To blacken the lips, as of ink infusing a piece of paper.
To see many paths.
To be neither circling nor circumstantial.
To the steeping mountains, and on
through the plains
To leave all this behind with much else.
