The universe is full of
non obvious spaces,
liminal and otherwise.
Contingent boundaries,
thresholds real or imagined;
our actions predicated
on a shifting and faulty -
an incomplete awareness.
Every experience you haven't had.
The dark matter of
everything you can not possibly know.
Our solitary "i" provides
no perception of depth
we need others to
teach us to see.
There are ideas
that stretch and turn
us inside out
if we let them.
If we think about
how we came
to think about
what we're
thinking about.
You are a volumeless container -
what you think you hold is
merely moving through you.
Your hands are meant only
to cup just enough water.
It comes down to
the way the one thing
empties into
and is also
filled up by
everything else.

Lyricalliover 3 years agoMy apologies for that, but this one required a bit of time and some thinking, and maybe even a little googling. Which, in my mind, is not a bad thing.
I love the movement of your mind here, that this both feels right instinctually to me, but also makes me think about it. I had to look up what a Klein bottle was, which was pretty interesting. Not necessary to enjoy or get something from the poem, but the visual and information led to more personal understanding.
Within the whole, this is what really grabbed me and held on:
You are a volumeless container -
what you think you hold is
merely moving through you.
Really am such a fan of your writing.
Tzaraover 3 years agoCut the title of my comment into/onto a strip of paper, give it a half-twist, and glue the ends together. Then read to end.
(I very much enjoyed this,)
