Poetic Asides – “the world without s.th”; The Big Tent Poetry – what’s in the center:
The world without its center
Anyway, what’s in the center?
Is it a thing, a person, or a thought,
Otherwise incapable of getting
Identified?
And should I try to find
a single one,
instead of blending all the world
around its missing center?
Around the edges of the absolute.
