No Promises


Tao does not promise anything,
and yet it is the source of everything.

    "Make visible, what without you, might never have been seen." – Robert Bresson

    There is always promise in truly new
    Images perched on stems that stretch out thought,
    Perfuming without knowing that they do
    Subtle variations on the standard plot.

    The new rejoice in being so alive
    That darkness pearls into white feathery
    Whiffs, bobbing noodle heads whom bells revive
    In crowds, each a unique identity.

    Peeling back lips, botanists botch the task
    Of catching what evaporates in air,
    Listening for whispers behind the mask,
    If ever anything was really there.
