Eyes
& roots
Eyes out
into the world.
Eyes into an interior.
And the same goes with roots.
Now think of root vegetables and meals which beg to be taken outside.
What does a window really see?
Do roots recognize flowers? A plate its salad? Paper anticipate a poem?
Go look out your favorite window. Can you see how questions feed hunger?
Divine Presence
ReplyDeleteWhat concerns me is eluding religion
pretending it doesn't exist
ignoring it in others.
Centuries of birds in flight
can be chiseled in a doorway--
the passion of engraving takes flight
as we look up to worship--
how can a song not echo in such a space?
