nowhere

we are here from nowhere
as these words
arrive from nowhere
as the idea that is the word
springs from nowhere
*
celestial bodies,
the millions who are born
only to die
...I, myself, am from ...
nowhere
likewise the mountains
the streams, the forests,
the myriad forms of life
all that we see
all that we don't
nowhere
we cling to a life
that comes and goes
as it chooses, as it pleases
we live a life
that came out of nowhere
*
from nowhere comes pain
from nowhere comes love
from nowhere comes these words
and our strivings in vain
