Raven 7: The Unborn

Denise Levertov: "You are given the questions of others /as if they were answers /to all you ask. Yes, perhaps /this gift is your answer." The questions are the answer.

Case

Relaxing with Brown Bear under the night sky, Raven asked, "What is the unborn?"
Brown Bear said, "Awesome."
Raven asked, "Is it the same thing as the void?"
Brown Bear asked, "Where does all this come from?"

Verse

You and your questions
Your self and its jones on for meaning
From where does all that come?
From the unborn? The void?
Awesome.

Case by Robert Aitken; introduction and verse by Meredith Garmon
