Blessedness


I once was not, and furthermore,

I’m an “I” who’ll (again) be not

…. in the scheme of things

…. an “I” who’s whole,
…. a part, a jot 

who never asked to be begot, but who
since has asked a lot and at times
has been besot without a clue
of which or who or when or what,

but always knew there’s blessedness in breath,
blessedness in in yea (in yes), so thought:

…. where yin meets yang
…. there must be blessedness in nay 
…. (in not)
