we only

we only see what we understand

we cling to the cohesion of already made concepts

for fear. the unknown, the ambivalent, the uncanny

haunt us with their hallucinatory feelings,

words at last. the spring of poetry is close

poetic word and poetic image fused in an ecstatic embrace

we still don't know we have the instinct of truth

the reciprocity between the apple and the tree is there

to push the limits of imagination

but thought hates the void, feels endangered by its hallucination

is so oblivious of any murky origin

different breeds of thought breathe differently

you and you and you are not an accident of thought

each cell fights for its unknowable identity. yes,

thoughts-light and thoughts-darkness are conversing

along the spine of night
