I wish to fit in~

 














I wish

to fit in

somewhere

anywhere~

others fit in

not wishing

as do I~

wholeness may

appear as confining 

wishes~~

a character frets and struts~~

 











A character

frets and struts

an hour upon the stage

and is heard no more~

these words may herald 

a joyful resonance in

a discovery of  

nothing at all~~


(leaning on 

Macbeth, the

tragedy)

No~~

 









No~

a word much in use

in postings which 

narrate emptiness 

in the appearances

of things~

a dark word

lively and full~

No appearing as 

separation~~

Roles of characters~












A

character's role 

may be named 

personal or impersonal 

and each may appear as 

what seems happening~

the personal role is

one of seeking to fill

a gap by ridding

those feelings of 

incompletion~

the impersonal~ ? 

there are 

not two roles

and not even one~~

A lone swallowtail~~














A lone

yellow swallowtail

loops in and away

to be seen no more~

the memory lingers

as a brief mention

of the flitting beauty

of everything

not seen~~

The last bastion~














The

last bastion

on the path

of a person's

search for

fulfillment

may seem

frightening:

not to wash 

away with

the dishwater~~


Connections~~


 









Connections

are appearances

of distance and time

prompting observers

and storytellers

to add themselves and

their presentations

as appending

appearances~

connecting stories~~
