THESE THINGS SHOULD
NOT MEAN, JUST BE
NOT MEAN, JUST BE
That lantern, which the farmer has left
upon the fencepost - as he walks away
from it is it still his? Is it still there? Or
what is the presence of presence or the
being of being?
-
'The prison of the body holds me, and I
appear destined for eternal punishment' :
run, run, do not rock, just flee; flee, flee,
do not stop, just flee - for all the lights of
Mankind and all the forms of Being are
passing and are not long to be.
-
Under signs I stand by a dim straight fading -
one foot in the universe of spinning moment,
and the other in the distant firmament, from
which these things coalesce and fade :
they should not mean, just be.
