HUMILITY BECOMES HUBRIS

 

HUMILITY & HUBRIS

there is self pity in vainglory

as there is  a  mollusk 

in a crustacean

 species

in tendrils of  rumination

species with little empathy

but nostalgia 

borrowed

or drubbed

stories and creatures

collected monsters

endangered memories

ancient stones

shelved

with fog horns

forgotten towns

loves

desires

caves coves 

and hotels

 rummaged connections

disharmonious

with secret origins

forgotten resistances

and terminals

of

intermittent

repeating coda

diluted

or

erased by peace 

or violence

NOBODY WANTS TO STRETCH FOR THE TRUTH

 

the psyche or the soul or the mind and mosttly the body need nourishment.

food for thought

flavors for the heart

art for the psyche

certainty for survival

the unabated thirst for meaning

the importance of why

over what

when

where

how 

and who

that the owl knows 

older than writing 

and

branches of precious metal

talismans of branches 

woven as baskets of lore

saving 

and starving

and mouldering

and fogetting 

dust 

for 

all that arrives 

and will arrive

millenia hence

to ask again

to reason again

and to touch

and taste 

and make art

yet

never to evolve

for joy 

forever joy
