A poem is a performance

of loneliness and sadness
without despair

or sadness and despair
without loneliness

or despair and loneliness
without sadness.

In any case, a performance.

Through His love,
an image becomes us;
In His wisdom,
it is what it is.

Danish

We pride ourselves on
"hygge"

but we have no word for
pleasure

and we can't distinguish
a victim

from
a sacrifice.

What poetry keeps implict
philosophy makes explicit.

What to unfold?
Wisdom warns us.

Who to enfold?
Love urges us.

Not, "what it is like to be,"
but how     it     becomes
                                       you.
