The Unlearned
The yearning of man to exist somewhere else
detecting the paths of his death
he discovers
a complex soul with many bottoms
the labyrinth he seeks transcends him
light refracts and detaches
in its primeval conviction
as I keep away from the roaring eons
I want to be near something that stirs in silence
for this, tonight,
I’ll read to you about the stars
old hand-writings of eternity
shepherds of ancient meanings that widen
the warmth of wisdom
a wanderer trapped in the enigma
I know
nothing is content
only approaches to the unlearned
between life and death
