Mysteries and Things: poetry

Mysteries and things,

"Being" and "Existence",

"I" "That" "It":

Who is "I"?

What is "It"?
"That!"

August 5, 2018:

Daylight is in the process of exchanging itself with dusk,

the afternoon breeze makes tall spindly sunflowers shimmy and shimmer 

in ever moving splotches of sunlight.

Old bones ache today

under blue skies and

"Being" identifies "Itself"

by the location of its pain

as afternoon and evening exchange colors

until there are no colors left

leaving behind only the Mystery of the "I"  

and the aching.
