like a wife
seeking a psychic
or patient rejoicing
in listening doctor
the vessel reflects
what is put into it
exhausted receptacle
embracing pains
and exuding
echoes
a mendicant asks
and receives what he asks for
a wayfarer hopes
and has hope mirrored
breathes, and so ingests
his own aspirations.
the art of inquiry
is usually uninvestigated
as the question
often entangles a clue.
