Must we not renounce the object altogether, throw it
to the winds and instead lay bare the purely abstract?
……………………….. —Wassily Kandinsky, painter
The Tao (way) that can be named is not the real Tao
………………………. —from The Tao te Ching of Lao Tzu
making way into up through
around down and back,
lookers look, curious,
fingers in wind, eyes to sky
erect as prairie dogs scanning,
dicing bits of One into things,
naming to suit a whim
noses to night air sniff,
hands to a new find feel,
ears to the ground,
to its whisper, hear,
tongue to tongue, taste
poke touch hallow,
or not, with a name
until what we have
is a glossary,
not life
