this
can be
a connective
process
water comes from the sky
I guide my curve upwards
and complete the
circle in the clouds
help it to keep its path
to extend our limited human
cudgel prolongs
and
increases
striking
power
providing
the target and satisfying
a kind of arrow that we made out of a hairpin
man is half
prisoner
half
borne on wings
through
awareness
of
the tragicomic
Unlike the divine creatures
born with only
one
angel’s wing
forever trying
to fly
I wished
to
capture the
to keep its path
without friction
infinite
spiritual
The tragedy of
simultaneous helplessness
Whither?
bondage
release
peak of movement
this
source of
man’s
contra-
diction
his physical weakness
and his ideal ability to measure
the earth and the cosmos
he keeps breaking his arms and legs
