In small moments, we come around
to knowing who we are –
each time removing us
from grid-based definitions,
from categories and from grades

We know ourselves more fully
in the moments to which words
can only come after,
silent in prediction or prescription
but eloquent in poetic wonder,
tracing the illumination of contact,
chronicalling the joinery of Soul.
