Poems
Not only not judgments (Urtheil), but not necessarily even content (inhalt). So are these constellations of terms judgeable? I’d not volunteer to submit them to judgment.
But, even if only what is claimed to have content should be judged, I suppose even the uncontented can be shared.
Poems
Rough Century
2025 - Late Summer
This
Dwelling (with-)?
standing
roughly
one
Century
roughly
as in-
conceivable
as a
Life,
which,
in comprehending,
we began
to mourn:
that they are all Ways
all ready all
dying.
The
World is dying:
(
in monochrom
wringing out
Extractions
winding down
mechanized
Work to the
grasping drains
|
in technicolor
co-terminal initials
illiminating 'an image of the world
in which the continuous is
an autonomous notion'[1]
and co-continuous punctuations
unfolding our singular zeros
form paths, becoming
for others, what will have been
).
May we live,
roughly spanning
our Centuries,
let us share,
weather wearing
us into worn,
A
World
-- We will
have been
as These
: All
flowing
Each
thru out
One
another
.

Being Meanings
Summer 2025 - Winter 2026
Since, in being,
we aspire to live
in the appearance
of sun & sign
just, as meanings,
we transpire to pass
thru the transpearance[1]
of air & sense,
We must subject others
thru sensible communication
with no less care
than we submerge our selves
in material environments.

Scraps
In terminal times a mind turns over terms at all times.
