You say I am repeating
Something I have said before. I shall say it again.
Shall I say it again? In order to arrive there,
To arrive where you are, to get from where you are not,
     You must go by a way wherein there is no ecstacy.
In order to arrive at what you do not know
     You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance.

Hunger opens to absence
Desire is different
Aroused by proximity
More and more prompting
Deeper yet deeper yearning
Bread is eaten
Water swallowed
