here we are
look what we've done
didn't you know that we were there before we were gone?

ain't it something?
at this height-
all of the darkness is as beautiful as the light

in december I fell in Love
why? I don't know

but in the springtime I worshipped the Sun
why? I think I know

well, it reminded me of Love

Jainist ponderings
Krishna mind
heart wrenches
senses divine

sorrow tides
joyful waves
color miracle
flower saves

river justice
current laws
chuckling frog
gives no pause

beatle passenger
growth consume
wind ambition
bliss cocoon

mischief snake
petal boat
fins of zen
formless float

O, gentle lambs of sky,
run not from the sacred storm
but ride with it

hidden garden, trace of Eden,
where the sacred cow roam,
take shelter from the storm
under our wooden bridge...

live on
roam on
live on
roam on
live on
roam on

to lay unsinking on murky brackish-
to think nothing and hear nothing
to simply slip out of form
my ears offer strain;
dog crawls whimpering
it's back legs broken. . .

Sun rises around me
haunting silhouettes sting my
eyes
they moan and groan
i've hurt them
they want to drown me as
morning orange fades to yellow. . .

honey, i want to feel their hands on me
pulling me down
i could sleep forever. . .

i could bathe in my thick
wet cement slumber and feel
my muscles kick and scream
forced to do what
purpose warned not to-
to remain still. . .

i may dream forever.
but if i awaken-
i will drown in light.
