Quark

Here is where the eye sees
but does not survey
where the ear hears
an inner voice, and
the whole recognises itself
as estranged by the lie
which harbours truth despite,
sought without being sought is truth.

Truth is art,
art is most revealing
when displaying truth.

Ultimately the dynamic-static
shifting quark
stark
unavoidable
every face
undeniable.

    In joy ...

    I have to admit that the title had me scrambling for the dictionary which is a new truth (metaphorically) that I just learned:

    Quark: hypothetical truly fundamental particle ...

    and as for the rest of your poetical sharing I think that you did a good job with describing the inner workings of knowing that one knows ...

    well shared! jy

      quark

      i am going on the idea that you can look at a quark from any angle and it remains the same... it is that fundamental nature that i find is a direct metaphor for truth, real truth.

    This poem seems very smart.. unfortunately I am apparently not intelligent enough to read it without my head spinning! Nice one! Best of luck to you in the contest!
