Black Out Poems

"immediately the relation of the two, black in white vortex white in black vortex is present just as to the should itself always in mind, that is to say, become a cosmos out of chaos, Thus, the specific realm of the two poles appear to remember.

I tried to focus this poem around Yin and Yang. I specifically remember seeing the symbol and deciding that I was going to create a poem out of this page. My favorite line that I came across was "became a cosmos out of chaos" which I feel really represents Yin and Yang, in that the world is chaos and we only find balance when acknowledge our opposites, then we can be infinite like the cosmos. Cosmos, itself, is a very beautiful word, its connotation is vast and it sounds lovely to the ear, and I feel that this also represents Yin and Yang because once you find balance you can find beauty in everything.

"chaotic with roots in the 'sea' The 'tree' is man."

I like the line "chaotic with roots in the sea", it is very vivid. Again, I picked a random page and set off to create a black out poem. I am still undecided on whether or not i like the ending, it is so blunt, but at the time I felt it was necessary. But I think the first line is beautiful. I consider the sea to be so turbulent, along with the word "chaotic", yet the word "roots" indicates holding on. I read this poem like a message, and I also almost want it to be received that was as well, though the message itself is up for interpretation, it is along the lines of the destruction of humanity.

"to be infinite. be indefinite flowing back between space and time. all that is the face of this paradox doomed to contradict itself, in one way or another we speak here of a 'meaning' we have two mutually opposed ways of curiosity,"

Like the previous poem, this poem is meant to have some sort of meaning along the lines of humanities destruction. This time the destruction is found within humanity. I find the line "flowing back between space and time" is very pretty as it refers to the indefiniteness of this problem within us and between us. But again, this was no special page, I selected it randomly and then proceeded to find the poem.
