2024-06-01 – Circling

Let me try
to draw a circle around it
and start from anywhere
to explain it.

And we will always arrive with
only a partial picture.
Because it can never be
less than it is.

It is without beginning or end;
One.

Only by arbitrarily breaking in
at some point
can we begin a description
that can never finish.

We are a tool that understands
only pieces
working on that which
cannot be divided.

There is no ‘getting it’
in any classical sense.
Any such understanding
would simply be an
re-expression of the problem
itself.

Oh, Ouroboros, come around
and whisper your secrets to me
again.
