Behind the face of the moon we see

Behind the face of the moon we see

there must be another face

which, if dark, shines the way darkness shines,

laughs the way darkness laughs,

and sends cool tears the way

only darkness could do,



a face fantastic in understanding.

We will no longer ask of what we can build

on the moon, when the earth falters,

when we see this face; it will teach us

a silent reverence for the things

turned away from us.

A human being-question chasing after both God and nothingness. The internet is a disaster, but our starlessness might teach us something. I welcome our constant experimenting with ourselves with open arms, for ultimately they are attempts of life at living and growing in life. My dwelling is in Key West, while the dwellings of my loves are Indiana, New Mexico, Texas, Massachusetts and Arizona. These spaces are nothing. Love abides and love embraces.
