to grow in knowing
one grows in not-knowing
newly emerging curiosities become more important
than past certainties
hence, the path with the primary text
leads to becoming-with the primary text becoming ~
it takes two to make love, and
then, where will it end? will it?
no one can say if this becoming ends
or what its continuance would be
and of this becoming-one
so intimate... so close...
no more intimacy, no more closeness
yet, of this
no one can speak
paradox is used
to say, "Be quiet!"
while, in Silence,
words fall effortlessly
into Nothingness
