Due to some

earlier technical difficulties,

everyone did not receive many

of the previous blog poems

so I am gradually reposting

those earlier writings

until everything is current.

a starkness of being

there is a starkness to being

strip away all circumstance

as propositional

eliminate all situations

as myopic involvement

however clear

and however pure behind thought

however deep

and attentive beyond self as aware

however the witness

is conscious in residence

all thoughts that come forth

and all words that secure

are like weighty stones

unto themselves

yet live into life

as the surface interaction

being tossed ongoing

into the experience pool

soon converted to ripples

as remembrances

as they

being baptized into life

soon subside

the representation is forged

into memories

there sinking away

from the faith of float

no matter

how ever extensive the waves

they were

as they appeared to be

they are now gone

swallowed whole

undermined by the forms

they took then

the symbolic impress

they were to us in meeting them

how as feedback

for it was real for then

now remembered

can only confirm

a process evolved around need

that need as all needs

become undressed

revealing a starkness of being

a pile of provisions stripped away

that donot fill the mirror in reflection

a hearsay of falsified life extensions

that have ‘trial and errored’ their way

through living them . . .

now muted

an accrued menu of habits

written into almost unconscious font

as script

that did not ever feed the soul

setting all these things aside

as their remains . . .

still . . .

there remains

a starkness of being
