Underlining

Underlining

Pausing
 before discarding

an old text book..

All those underlines

momentary importances

marked and forgotten..

Yet wishing to ask

on this sun-filled 

October afternoon:

Are our underlined 
words lost forever or
doing their share

building containers

wineskins for

gathering future

light...?

"It is now how much

we know, or how

little we know,

but how we know

what we know.."

paraphrase of 

Rabbi Joel Bakst
