Skating

Skating.
Skating
on the
surface 
of a 
bottomless
pond.
Infinite 
depth. 
Spinning.
Spinning 
figure eight
contemplation.
Surface,
thick and
hard.
Postulating 
subsurface,
minimum 
results.
Blades
scratching 
the surface.
Reality 
complex,
beyond
reason.
Beyond
scope of
understanding.
Spinning 
faster.
Skating
to no
avail.
Eons in
attempt,
mere 
scratches 
on the
surface.
Bottomless 
pond of
understanding 
forever 
out of
mere mortal
reach.

"Figure eight" a beautiful deliberate symbol of infinity looping atop a void. Its spinning, evoking ritual and futility, having us suspended knowing and unknowable, cutting arcs on ice that never cracks, on meaning that never yields. It also exposes the tension between our yearning to understand and the cold reality that some truths remain bottomless, resistant to expression, comprehension or even closure.
