entertain the knowing of a term
amid how many names to paint that known
--depends on
termless origins
rising co-become
conditional a part for one unknown
~ wholly always ever-new produced in co-consuming-birthing all
~ intertracing weaves of what was thought was thought
connective tissue waves to render
individual arrays of signing signlessness,
precise obliques, pretend unends
all captured all undone and finally
defined
in seamless positings of word
yet freely boundless
always having ever been alive in proto-symbols
wet then dry of life
beyond the ken of humankindly limits
seen at brinks of sight

Chandrakiirti defines "pratitya-samutpada" as “the arising of things in dependence of causes and conditions” but it is also taken to be "dependent origination," "dependent arising," "conditioned co-becoming," "co-dependent production," "interdependency" or "interconnectedness," "the multiplicity or diversity of forms," "emptiness," "compassion," and "the Middle Way"

I could die singing the songs of pain
The ballad of the flowing blood
Mentored my vocal chords
As I mounted the rendition
Of the anthem of my soul
The chorale disperse into shadow of walls
And only you alone, came in to console

The dark ocean turned into river of love
New notes of laughter replaced the old ballad of whimper cries
And the wounded I mended into
Genuine piece of art
For you repaint me with the romantic promises
Saying you’ll never part

As the melody unends, you never left
But I heard you from afar
Singing the songs of pain I once chanted
And the promises faded into black
I can’t belt my feeling anymore
For it is not you but I, who first left
Left.  Beautifully broken.
