Vacuum Sucks
Let’s face it
Vacuum sucks
Into flow
Flow circulates
Into form
Form decays
Into vacuum
Vacuum sucks
.
That’s life
In making and breaking
Bodies, hearts and minds
.
There’s no avoiding the void
No matter how vainly we try
To set our selves
Subjectively or objectively
Apart
In definitive isolation
.
We can’t live
Without the infinite grace of space
Deep stillness
Calling softly
Constantly
Within, throughout
And all about
Us
Natural occurrences
Within the natural occurrence of all
Both tangible and intangible
Within each other’s reach
Never One Alone
.
There’s no such thing as completeness
There’s only repleteness
Nature is full of receptive holes*
Like you and I
Awaiting their turn to shine with life
And pass on
As energy flows and ebbs in tidal current
Not wholes cemented in permanent stasis
Keeping their selves to their selves
…
*To put it plainly: A centre of gravity is a receptive focal point of space — a ‘zero point’ — within mass as a local circulation of energy. It is not an isolated centre of mass surrounded by space.
