Sitting together in council as in the sense of an Algonquian pawewa
theres always much to discuss
yet things are often left unsaid
theres always much to discuss
yet things are often left unsaid
not that all things can possibly be said
the People who unfortunately are missing from it their absence we remain uninformed of their minds and intentions
then as often happens as is Life
events cascade or are delayed or are sorrowfully terminated
their lingering absences become
codified in nonexistence
our unexamined questions
our unexamined questions
bitter paper cuts which languish and smart the
moment we forget them
there is no balm or imagination to repair these wounds
they are our bittersweet remnants
they are our bittersweet remnants
to
say what it is we want to sayto try
and forget we struggle to articulate them well
and have to repeat them again and again until all wiggle room is played out and all wedges are tapped into place
nothing is oblique
the whole is square
and square
then all things that come from it
we will have no excuse for them also not to be square
at every onset we should be skeptical
and convinced only by evidence
and convinced only by evidence
