Mythic Tales and Sacred Truths.

"...the means of locomotion is unimportant, the wandering remains. ...but to stand still, no, that's impossible." --Alfred Kubin, The Other Side (1908; tr Mike Mitchell. 2000)

Contempt. ☆☆☆

"Pool turning into a Pond"

Hit my mark · in the not yet morning
Not a glance glides · to the handwritten list
Food as a sequence · of small gestures
Take note of things · we’re soon needing
Keeps chaos at bay · & mortal illness
The pledge implicit · in placid helping
For awhile erases · ruin on wheels
Each of us Odysseus · each of us Penelope
A journey joined · a weave wrestled
