Inspired by Rilke's poem Ich lebe and Helena Schoenhof's wonderful Die Löwin, which follows:

poetry = nonsense
nonsense = meaninglessness
meaninglessness = void
void = nothingness
nothingness = spirit
nonsense = meaninglessness

The Loving |
---|
Concentric circles
of gravitational pull
a mantle of attraction
hemmed in only
by the space between
the lover and the beloved
the creatures generate
this force unconsciously
two felines circling
each other in my dream
obeying the stark desires
of an instinct driven
to the production of cubs
and the attendant fresh kills
life, death, inseparable
in the loving eyes
of the game engine
we call God
