In the Question Is the Answer

What is She?

She is a thought.
an urge to go inside
where eyes go blind.

Where is She?

She is here, a loadstone
in the spinning wheels
of our maelstroms.
We carry Her,
as a hunger,
yet She nourishes
as lonely sorrows
famish away.

Why is She?

She is a dawn moon
for our dreaming.
A light
that will keep us guessing
why we are
until we find out
what we are not.
