Breath expands to unconcentrated regions
Creating itself as water creates the pond
What’s contained defines the container
With bounds unidentified
For the pond is superfluous
Overspilling not into dry refuges
But into itself
Where nothing is desert nor fertile
But field for yield
Not seeds unsown
But inborn in potentiality
As pressurized by futurity
Doth the future meet the present
In happening
Not because of marching towards
Nor reversion
Only that what can be might be
Where the unconcentrated regions
As field or hollow
Might be fulfilled while unwilled
Unlike ponderous man
Who has vain desire
To be filled with unconscious things
Lacking in a conscious mind
Unaware that as constituent
And not container
He cannot be filled by the expanse
Which hath already atomized him
In restless perturbations of field
As a sound moves water
Though permanented
For being part of the permanent
As red ink making red
A staining unstainable
Never poured in from strange vessel
But a condensation of primal energy
As water overflows its shore
Only to expand the pond
Where as exclusive vessel
Pours not into another container
But merely widens the only;
Thus, art thou—
A body of rhythm,
Warmed in movement,
And respiring your particulate self,
Renewed until death,
Then, after, renewal,
Returning thy composites to the source,
Which, indwelt, residing eternally there,
Being of closed system incommunicable
But only unto itself,
Though the perturbations behave openly,
As stomach requiring food,
Are they but the system responding to itself,
As single actor of all characters
On one expansive stage, Playing the eternal scene of entropy.
