Aletheia: "truth as unconcealment, accordance with reality." 

If afflictions were so easily drained

Like the bottoms of ceramic pots, 

Would I still be tripping over my feet, 

Teetering in attempt to catch a glimpse

Of the cliff edge, river rapids,

days ahead, aftermath overexposed.

The anthurium on the front window sill’s began to wilt

And yet again, I’m overwatering the plants. 

A lot of time consulting ancient texts, 

Ritual sprouting and unveiling one’s eyes to

 an innate synchronicity. 

Roaming inside and outside the lines becomes one

And the same. 

Hopelessly waiting for a messenger to realize 

this life as soaked in symmetry

Whilst the locus of attention beckons and pleads,

To sit near, silently tread forward like an abyss, 

let go and let near, 

Fallingwater, 

Create, and disappear.
