WHERE WE SLEEP

Harvesters came

for the hay

 

Between the icon’s window

and the sunset's 


non-Euclidian

horizon

 

Birds returned

from the fields 


silenced at Vespers,

camouflaged


and sheltered

by ground, shrub, and trees.

 

*

Enemies camped

in the woods

 

Taking the archetypes of dreams

out on patrol

 

Any thought

of sulfur, salt, and mercury

 

Gave territory away

for pyrite’s foolish likeness.

 

*

Know doubt

no problem

 

Hear and see

imagination

 

How we got here

how we left


Two stories shifting

angled perspectives

 

In either meaning

intending neither

 

 

A FIGURE OF FORM

      intentionality

 

         opposites

       “partly right”

         either way

            calmly

           pristine

                  

unique      to the seeing     thru samsara

 

         *

    after vision

be-sworded sight                rigged

                           “mental” confusion

 

                  it is one thing

                  to guard the guard

                  another to try out

                           trust

 

         the non-judgmental

         reticence     and, so what?

 

                                              appreciative

         all will belong

self of many

         disinterested

         one

 

        *

a place for the word 

(wary of jousting)

lies in its language

 

a life-changing 

entrance into dimensions

         ego diminished
