Creation names a tense doubleness in affirming both absoluteness and relatedness. G&B 253
where white roses were pale leaves__cornflowers reach up and out
spent balloons flag the high grass__dust of fireworks blows about
for bearings in his rain-soaked hut__Basho recalls the Elder Du
spirit wanders with things mind wanders__high tide patterns move through
rock culverts wind-wrought waves__nations rise in violence fall
in the repetition this difference__this wonder this that it is at all
“this wonder this that it is at all” – perfectly put!
