The definitions of the paper-bark
Like a world for the creating -
The wrestling of thoughts out into form
By scraping thin lines into measured marks;
It satisfies a temporary conjunction of cells.
Words, drawn from a day, a time
As though description were an impressive way
To hold a human view of earth
Or some message to behold an outlook
Or a way to see or live -
When the world is of the world
With its own voice
Eking moments out for Beauty in dark motion
Inhaled from the silence of the void,
The motion of a million thunder-rolling waves
Curling in upon themselves to feel inherent space within
Then break apart in fast, magnificent exhalation;
Finishing all immediate sensations.
