In Transit
by Lenore Kandel
Question: Locate the center of infinity
Answer: Anywhere
IT NEVER STOPS MOVING!
The ceaseless alchemical permutations, gold into history,
rain into strawberries, strawberries into my bloodstream,
my blood into flowering dreams
the dream into absolute perception, into coruscating visions of
THIS IS WHERE IT IS BA-BY into
infinity
It is necessary to search the spirit through the light of
one's own bioluminescence
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS STANDING STILL
the balance is that of a gyroscope
motion existing within motion
the balance of a bird listening to its heartbeat, wings poised
against the currents of the air, eyes tracing the turning of the
earth, the planet circling the sun, the sun spinning its golden
path in the universe and the universe breeding life and death
in infinity
and the bird hangs halfway up the sky
infinite motion at rest
within infinite motion
LET IT GO !
whatever you see that is beautiful
don't hang on to it
whatever you see that is terrible
don't hang on to it
LET IT GO !
the balance is that of sunlight on water, the sunlight
moving as the earth turns, the water following its gravity
path into eventual raindrops and hope to another river
the sunlight-and-water being one and together
for the duration of their parallel flow
there is no way to stop water
if you lock it up it will evaporate and reach the clouds anyhow
there is no way to stop the sun
it holds its own galactic balance and moves according to the
nebulae of outer space
LET IT GO !
IT NEVER STOPS MOVING
there is movement within a mountain, a rock, a thought,
a flower, a lightbulb, a cat, a star, a rice-bowl, an arrow
LET IT GO !
IT NEVER STOPS MOVING
there is no such thing as standing still
the direction of motion is frequently a matter of choice
when you try to stop other things from moving
you give yourself an impetus toward backwards motion
LET IT GO !
most of the time
you will be the it
being let go of
