Astonishing Fulfilment
Astonishing Fulfillment
Astonishing lining –
As if done a shining –
Of secret desires
Amidst the quack mires
Makes difference – Flow
Unseen to bestow
Upon being living
What’s wordlessly screaming
Of now and moment,
Of timely atonement,
And magic prolonging
From yearning to longing;
Of miracle pair
In depth of despair,
And mutual willing
When murders are killing;
Of sweet in the sour,
Free nature from powder,
Of colors in black-white
In spite of all “despite”;
Of fullness non-foolish –
And poverty so rich,
To make each achievement
Non-filthy fulfillment!..
