Antinomies

Faith is the mother of achievement
Politics is the religion of the future

Antinomies

Love is the first expression of self
Love of self is the last expression of love

Fate

With all its holy-
Selves and all its
Self-involvements
Came back to me
Ten years later

This dream gave back
Its holy self--
Unfolding
Into its emptiness and
God-grown-oldness

It isn’t truth that writes
This script
Just a dawn
Like any other
That with its own grace
And style unfolds its wings

Forever.
