The Salt of the Earth
Life
is ambushing
an unsuspecting non-existence
Every day
the naivety of Nothing
is regretted
Why did Emptiness
let itself be surprised
by this heavy Materiality?
The Undertow
in the pillar-character of the Void
is relentless
Birdsong is a costly distraction;
upshot of mountains
empty gestures
The coffee mug's space is emptied
of tit for tat
The insipid “Away!” of Life
curses its own occurrence
A non-existent god
is made the scapegoat
for the lousy assignment of being
Up like a skirt,
down like a pulled long face
I fix the forage,
embarrass plurality
Nothing always overtakes the All,
“never been” is the Salt of the Earth
