What remains unseen
what remains unseen
when you break the whole to bits
are the holes between
structure is the warp
and change the weft: but who knows
where the weaver sits?
a rigid structure
presses down on squidgy flesh:
life between the cracks
life bursts out from all
the restrictions we impose:
threads unravelling
messy, untidy
full of holes, nests, and burrows:
lingam and yoni
yin, yang and tao
assertive and inductive:
unknowable tao.
"eppur si muove":
it's all moving and changing
the dance of Shiva
creation, destruction
there in the burning grounds
new life arises.
