there is nothing that is not It





spring 1967 –
one night in the kitchen
two friends stand talking when . . .

but a gift from elsewhere:
absence deepening in presence

the Unsayable speaks for itself





the Unsayable when spoken is silence





since one can only be (is) and not observe the One,
nothing can be said about it, not even this

yet all that I do
I don’t
