It is the thing that lies under
……..under lies
below the foundation
……..like a time signature
……..signalling in silence:
there
there
there
there
……..we are.
È la cosa che sta sotto……..
sotto stante
sotto il fondo.…….
come il tempo quaternario
segnalando in silenzio
ci……..
ci……..
ci……..
ci……..
siamo.
This is both beautiful and profound in its brevity, Bonnie. The idea that substance, essence, or even existence of a thing (there, by extension) is ‘like a time signature’ is a powerful one – at least until the question of the ontological status of time is perceived by the associated mind implied!
Thank you so much, I’m glad that it wasn’t as obtuse as I thought! In Italian it’s even nicer because the word ‘tempo’ is exceptionally dense; it means time, tense, and musical tempo (among others).
Bonnie,
What a beautiful way to wake up on a Sunday morning.
Back to basics…and the essence of our simple lives.
Boy O’ boy, what we’ve forgotten??
Thanks for the wake up call!
I hope all is well,
Edward

Love the staccato created by the Line breaks And the repetitions at the end. You must work all the time. I have not written a line since the international contest.
