The Book of Weston

some truths evade words.

some truths can't be clarified

in writing or in conversation

with a friend or therapist or lover

or any companion we could find or invent.

some truths refuse to be validated.

they must be felt, and felt deeply,

in stillness and silence and solitude.

and by feeling, by the sweat of attention,

we soften the soil for them

to pierce through into the light.
