Exactly That

Appearance
Must be
Cannot not be
Exactly that which is —
Not-appearance

How else can it appear
From where else can it arise
Of what else can it be made

Confusion is —
But an idea
That appearance is
Something
Other than
Apart from
Independent of
Not-appearance

That where appearance is, is —
In an infinite landscape of appearances
And not in
Not-appearance

That why appearance is, is —
Because of another appearance
And not because of
Not-appearance
