Heart falters, stops
before a Chinese cauldron
still good for boiling water.
.
It is one of a dozen or more,
it is merely iron,
it is merely old,
there is much else to see.
.
The few raised marks
on its belly
are useful to almost no one.
.
Heart looks at it a long time.
What do you see? I ask again,
but it does not answer.

I discovered a truth that seemed to me a revelation... There seemed to be two universes which I termed the world and the earth, in either of which I could choose to live. Then I saw there was but one, and that I was living on the earth looking directly into infinity. ~ Harlan Hubbard
