The Implicate Order

The implicate order unfolds

in the waxing moon

and the track of shadows

across the day

and the tender individuation

of petals in their buds

and the steady resolution

in which my thoughts

come clear

And all the things I don’t yet know

remain still safe, enfolded

in the eternal order of the infinite

to come to my awareness

in the rolling presentation,

in its perfect time,

of all that’s implicate.
