QUATRAIN

In my solitude

I have seen very clearly

things that are not true.

 — Antonio Machado


Full zero rising beginning end every thing in between

True gravity bathing pink contained gray yielding

Origin of the known universe unknown unborn the other

Attending yang honoring yin space tension grace

Images and notations, a morning walk downtown, October 17.
...
There is no city
But the city within.

No door, but the door
To simple wisdom.

We walk, dumb
As newborns

Into the tremendous and endless
Blessing.

 — Cynthia Cruz, from her remarkable poem The Hinge, in How The End Begins (2016).
