“In poetry, non-knowing is a primal condition.”
after Gaston Bachelard (The Poetics of Space)
// consider image an expression
image which skill liquidates /
/ evidence exists for the images
paid as difficult phenomenology /
/ successes dazzling /
// poetry be the space words like
primal work /
/ accompanied essential oeuvre
knowledge exercise must make /
/ start all dynamic /
// start phenomenology wide
form freedom times /
/ these place important
become minor skill /
/ us art therefore /
// a knowledge poetic //
