The Whole of the Thing
Mar 3, 2022
An ekphrastic poem inspired by Ejnar Nielsen’s painting A Blind Girl Reading
What I see
I see without sight.
The parable of the blind men
And the elephant
Says we each find a truth
And bear testament
That what we see
Is the whole of the thing;
Yet
I will hold space for your truth
…and mine
Trusting that Truth with a capital T
Is just another word for Love.
