revelations revolve

like a puzzle that spins.

where the answers you meet

turn to questions again

Turning wheels turn in wheels
then all that is stops in grace
in the century's eye's
in that perfect place
where illusions dissolve
in the voids of our space
and without and within
find the heart and embrace


and here a burning portrait
of  truth resting in beauty  is revealed.
as another word of God
falls to this withering earth.

There is, I guess, some aesthetic principle that forbids people to speak the truth, ask the question, give an answer, or describe the puzzle, but I don't know what it is.

As long as you remain distant, your reader will also.

Jump in, get into the nitty, gritty.

(Of course, I try to be fairly accurate and still get people telling me that I'm really talking about something else -- so who am I to say?)
