23 - The indefinite continued progress of existence

Watch the hands of time

For they need adjusting now.

Just cogs within cogs.

22 - The Mohist Conjecture

A blunt solution

To ethical dilemmas:

Laminate the soul.

21 - Post-Diagenesis

The shape of a stone

Records the long history

Of its existence.

20 - We wait.

Fresh easterly winds

Bring unexpected changes.

Watch with interest.

19 - The cult of the Rubaiyat

So many stories.

It would be invidious

To tell only one.

18 - Rest and recuperation

On the seventh day

Thoughts become ideas and sway

In contemplation.

17 - Across the water

From afar they watch

In great anticipation

For the Wanderer.

16 - Future conditional

If there is knowledge

Beyond the Wanderer's wall,

It will be fresh, true.

15 - The flowers appear in the land - הַנִּצָּנִים נִרְאוּ בָאָרֶץ

From his close distance

The wanderer imagines

Passover flowers.

14 - Son of Hilkiah

Old Jeremiah

Laments but also consoles

The lone wanderer.

12 - Lost in thought - פֿאַרטראַכט

Beyond his beliefs

The wanderer still harbours

Some superstitions.

11 - I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought

The wanderer wakes,

And summons up remembrance.

The past is present.
