Part Three: Thought Poems for the Legacy of a Thinking

Legacy of the Being Question (1st Version)

More questioning to question,
until the question,
is not how close to the familiar,
the answer may be found –
but rather the question itself
is the answer:
calling the restraint
of “holy names,”
naming the owning custom
in the foreseeing saga:

words, that bear
before the secret of being.
