Chapter 10: Sheer Presence & Sense and Softness


Sense & Softness

If at times the task
(embrace the envelope,
the pirouette of smoke
and gesture) seems
to decorate the means
of crafting answers, more
than answering what
you actually asked—

if at times the veil
conceals the language
you expected (dancing
on that rail between
gravity and dream)—
if you let the statuary
stretch, allow the light
a long exhale—

how could you shape
another nuance equal
to this arc? And why
deny the way that balance
wants to speak?
