An Unknown Practice

Someone tries to gloss

Spiritual for

Materialists—

You can think of it

As what is unknown.

That won’t really work,

That god of the gaps,

That certainty there’s

Worth in mystery.

For one, those who say

Spiritual things

Never mean unknown

Material things

But antonyms to

Material things.

Be that as it may,

Let’s take it as read

And apply unknown

Where spiritual

Is found—an unknown

Practice, an unknown

Advisor, unknown

Harmony, deeply

Unknown tradition.
