oh, the mystery

As a human invention utilized by humans, language is perfect only as an ideal; in human hands, it becomes a highly imperfect expression of our uncertainties, mistakes, ignorance, creativity and curiosity, our hopes, anxieties, fears, and desires.

"what frightening thing is the human
a mass of gauges and dials and registers
and we can read only a few
... and those perhaps not accurately"

desire

never let go
of that fiery sadness
called desire
