after the dark is dark...


WHO MADE IT
if I am in my labors...

LEAVES AND RAIN

the leaves in the wind make a sound like rain
the rain defies you to count its drops
and confine it to one number

the leaves the drops
they are many but only
a sign or indication of what multiplicity
truly is

you who can only think himself one
try to think of the many and the multiples of many
it is your one and their many
one who watches and what can be seen

that's two
who and what
two now that is a number
that can be counted and has a use

a real number not like one
which is nothing not even a number
only itself
