Where Spirit Blanked out, There Poetry Died

 

There is no such thing as a blank slate

as there is no such thing as a blank

canvas and as there is no such thing

as a truly blank eye unless it is dead.

 

For, in front of all that patent void

supposed emptiness, and utter

nothingness, and even there

right inside, a spirit stays alive,

 

and ever some mind is at work

which, like Penelope of old,

either weaves or tears off

 

its veiling shrouds—setting up

the necessity of those moments

that turn fates and time around.
