On Truth

I think

If you look for it

It’s there

Just beyond

Right there at the edge

But beyond it

We curl out fingers around the air

Just to feel like we’re grasping

To feel like we get it

But it’s mist

It’s fog in the morning

Silence in the talking

Listeners of music know

We see it in the mountains

At the sea

In our grief

Just enough

Not enough

It’s everywhere if you can see it

And yet nowhere all the same

The knowing is the not knowing

The seeing when our eyes are closed

Maybe the mist becomes dew

Liquid but there

Probably though, probably it never does
