And




And
A sound slips the tongue
Forward closing the open palate
To a stuttered stop that opens again.

And
Dividing while appearing to join
Life and death
Wisdom and madness
History and fable
Past and present
Yesterday and tomorrow
Simple and complex
Empty and full.

And
Conjunction yet division
Innocence and guilt
The emptiness of plenty
Famine and surfeit
Hunger and satisfaction
Faith and silence
Cries and shouts.

And
Chants echo forgotten meaning
Plain words and lost intentions
Inculcation and form
Open and formless.

Yes and 
No.
