By Richard Mather
Tool-use
If the hammer is a symbol
Of the power of the hand,
The hand is the product
Of the need for a hammer.
Horizon
Objects are luminous:
Their light appears
On the intellect’s
Horizontal plane,
That boundary between
Knower and known.
Point
There is no place for me to exist,
Always on the edge. Like you
I am an extensionless point
At the limit of a world I see
But don’t belong in.
Question
What is the matter?
It is a base question.
It is the not-one, without limit, infinite.
From it finite things are composed
By the mind’s understanding.
