Like the flower near at hand I grow Upwards by light into all I know; Buried in ignorant dirt by a downward thumb I bend dumb beneath rain into what may come. 5 Like a flower in summer now I grow tall, Concentrate a seed out of all I've been, Put half my something into that seed to fall, Drop it unseen on wide ground, and then Name that something put my all. 10 Is that something put experience gathered in? Or is ignorance all when any all begins? My ignorance decides me- I cannot tell What seed, in growing there, may yet become Besides new ignorance beneath the sun.
