lying ready to the hand

one’s life to oneself again

was it always this way

always going to be this way

the dull ache the rhythmic rememebering

the sense of loss when nothings has died

if creating things into the world the joy of that the wonder of that

were known to predispose to this loneliness

nothing would get done

would we sit quietly enjoy without the earnest creating

let the world be live in that greatest harmony

or as humans are we predisposed to want

therefore get therefore let go
