Non Finito I - Les Taches et les Touches Peaches so real They cease to be Edible - Indestructible in their Thingness, Ineluctable in their Hereness. Hours spent Studying brushstrokes; Fruit outstared until it Decays into abstract Mosaics of light - Vision Splintered into Hued rudiments. Quilted streaks of paint - Les taches et les touches* - Patch-daub panoply of Hint and sense probed into a Suggestive nexus of Line and edge: Forms brittle but Scrutable; Forms Fastidious in their Ambiguity. Photon truth Eyeballed as Scant-adequate Clue for Unravelling by Brains so Calibrated that Reality fails to Resolve on its Own. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2026 *Refers to the fundamental duality or tension in the novel approach to painting devised by Cézanne and Pissarro.

"Still Life with Peaches & Apples" (1905) by Paul Cézanne (1839-1906)

Animate Nature Apart from our own efforts to know their essences, a silver birch itself, its ministrations at the lake. Or the dove’s cooing locutions, humble beatitudes, and ablutions, performed with fullest heart.

A small poem on animate nature as #ThingInItself, unfettered by our perceptions and without the schema we later attach to it. Tenderness could exist even without our human conception of it. A child's sense of wonder may come closer to reality.

Me.

This isn't appearing in the #PromptCombo #ThingInItself thread on my screen, so reposting. One of those days.

For @victoriaspires.bsky.social and #PromptCombo #ThingInItself

I'm more familiar with physics than philosophy, although my A level were a very long time ago. Aiming for some intentional ambiguity and playful exploration of ideas of spectra and dual nature.

All three of my @cablestreet-litmag.bsky.social poems have a certain #DingAnSich dimension. I’ll record them all this week. Here’s the first. Langdale Pikes @victoriaspires.bsky.social #promptcombo #thinginitself #poemsaloud #poetrycommunity

DM for Removal by S. Reeson I stopped reading some time ago occasionally a friend breaks through manufactured noise clumsy visual cues the terrible repetition often mislabelled to see if someone will reply asking this was never about anything but stolen every moment meant to be distraction has become a broken art pulling out procrastination from minds no longer wishing to be filled except this bitter light has no effect on me the one who thrives on blocks of altering erasure to a game the thing in itself eroding will is self destruction I may be too long broken to be worn but still find better means to grow

#PromptCombo #ThingInItself @victoriaspires.bsky.social. Intentionally left the cursor in the screenshot. This is another ‘based on the last thing I did before picking up Bluesky’ poems. This time you get to guess what that was. This has been a useful exercise <3
