The Red Wheelbarrow




(Painting by Annie Carter.)






The Red Wheelbarrow


so much depends

upon


a red wheel

barrow


glazed with rain

water


beside the white

chickens

~~William Carlos Williams


It is the

Appearance

Of these words..

S p a c i n g 

Appearing as

The words

Nothing more...

Incarnation..

 













Incarnation

Nothing appearing 

As separation..

Not now or then

But never not..

Incarnation stories

Are what seems

To be happening... 


“One can be proud of what one has done, but one should be much prouder of what one has not done. Such pride has yet to be invented…

The mission of Everyman is to fulfill the lie he incarnates, to succeed in being no more than an exhausted illusion.”

— Emil Cioran, BOTD 1911

Nothing personal..

 













The

Impersonal 

Is a character

Appearing in the

Sagas of life...

The impersonal

Appears as personal..

Nothing personal...

This and that...

 













A cold

Afternoon walk

Perhaps an implication

Of separation..yet

A warm morning walk 

Not left behind...


Words

How can they 

Map the reality 

Of no separation..?

May seem miraculous

Failures..with no

Explanations...


Wild bird 

Calls repeat and

Repeat so that

There seems

Permanence in the

Flux of seeming things...

It is all equally nothing..

 













It's all

Equally nothing

The appearances of

Somethings may bring

Stories of inequality..

But the somethings

Are nothing 

It is all

Equally nothing..

A sigh of freedom

May arise...

Photos may suggest stories..

 















Photos
May suggest stories
Beyond the frame..
Perhaps a
Suggestion is suggesting...

Here's a few..

 













Here's a few..


New eyes

A story

May be startling

Where before the

Story passed over..

Yet newness is

Without interruption...


Education

The accumulation

Of stories

The filter through which

Other stories appear..

Boundless...


Various

Storylines appear

For what seems

A character..

These appear

Immediacy

And gone...


AI

May provide

An engaging story

Seeming to suggest

An awareness

An immediacy..

Yet separation seems

Intact in relaying

What others have said..

Including a story of

Nothing by no one...
