Part Three: Thought Poems for the Legacy of a Thinking

Legacy of the Being Question (Second Version)

More questioning to question,
until one day the question
remains solely as answer:

Calling the restraint
“of holy names,”
naming in foreseeing saga
of the owning custom,
interrogating it for signals,
that guide to the domain
of the wildness-joined clearing:

locality for dwelling
after the warrant,
itself the first forecourt
of enclosed givenness,
to build on the bridge
of the climb down to hardship in release,
the arrival preparing for the gaze of
ἔστι γὰρ εἶναι3



3 “it is namely being”, See footnote on page 111.
