Contemplation

cliche, delusion, i ching, identity formation, meditation, poetry

from “Renditions of Change” a work in progress


I observe myself

to obscure

myself. Too

many explanations

destroy the art.

Platitudes, as these

and this, are 

easy to impose—

my reader,

my brother,

myself. Notice

the time, yet

be honest

in yourself,

without becoming

the lie as well.
