To-Do List
Entries hang
like apples
with due insouciance
until becoming
the raison d'être
picked off
just before putrid.
Giving Birth to a Dancing Star
After the view
000000on the
000000000mountain
0000000000000000top
000000000000after the tempest
000000in the abyss
comes
000000acalm
000000000000from the pounding rain
teaching us to love
000000for love’s
00000000000000sake
000000000000000000and
000000to let go
000000000000of the
00000000000000000umbrella.

—Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
