Well done! You capture these paradoxes so creatively:

"There is the sole prevailing

And overarching conundrum

Which never ceases in no-time".

Thank you for the thorough read and comment!! I certainly love to bring up the paradoxes and contradictions in this universe.

I like the paradox at the end, 'A presence is about absense'. In the north of Belgium, we also use this expression: moederziel alleen.

Thank you for careful read. That is cool and I take that is Dutch? I had only come across the German variant which was the genesis for this poem, so it is cool if that is Dutch, as I am learning the language now. I have a trip in May to visit the Netherlands for the first time and am really excited. Belgium and Germany next-in-line.

Yes, it’s Dutch, or Flemish as we call our version of Dutch, but it’s basically the same. You won’t understand our dialects though :)

Well that is cool nonetheless, thank you for sharing!!
