Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist. Jose Ortega y Gasset

The pulse that verbs divest















The pulse that verbs
divest



The commotion in paper
cups



Where ageless insects
gaze at clouds



Is there an idea in these
scraps



a notion activated by the
eyes



by itself pushed on,
thinking?







You open your lips a bit
to the rim



feel the wave arrive,
warm, bubbly.



Has it settled again, the
theatre of a night sky?



The place was offered
within this zero.
