Art is a genuinely human medium for revolutionary change in the sense of completing the transformation from a sick world to a healthy one. In my opinion only art is capable of doing it.
— Joseph Beuys (1982)

The Buddha-mind is calm in the Great Void.
— Kukai (Kobo Daishi: d. 835 CE)
________________________________________
There (once again)
something suggested
a refusal to comply.
Complication?
Start again.
Refutation?
Not yet.
And here the advance.
To succeed?
No (perhaps never).
And/then not again.
Yet what ‘if’ is neither
evermore or more
and more and more?
And when will implication
ever be more than merely
transformed (as such)
into more than ‘never’ …
complete and true?
