If our place is where

If our place is where
silent contemplation among things 
needs us
saying is not knowing, it is the other
all fated path of being.
This is the gepgraphy.
This is how we stay in the world
pensive adventures of humanity,
that is how we are form
that forms blindly
in talking about itself
by vocation.
