effluence
noun
1.
the action or process of flowing out; efflux.
2.
something that flows out; emanation.
would you like emanation better. I was trying to avoid the "sighing breath" cliche. I was trying to get out the idea that when spirit flows out, even if raspy, it still sounds like a sigh because of the purity, and because it is not hindered by any type of egoism. This is an idea that Ginsburg came back to a lot, and recent conversations with Billy about the "on" has caused me to think about it again. It is a similar idea that I have struggled with in terms of éntheos having a god within, equivalent to en- en- + -thous, -theos god-possessing + -ia, and the idea that true art always is a reflection of some part of God/gods... The idea embodied in Gnosticism that creation is a emanation of the creator, see also Blake and "Vala" or "or The Four Zoas".
However, I think I have been less than clear overall. Each line is suppose to be something one might experience when confronted by a real poem. I didn't think it was very good to begin with, although I think the idea is valid, I just haven't done it justice here.
Anyway, thanks for the comments,
Dale

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
