A Puff Of Air
I’ve analyzed accomplishment,
I’ve me-oh-my’d achievement;
I’ve listed fame and reputation,
How it feels and what it gives,
(how it felt and what it gave);
The money gain, and what it brought,
The flatter-satis-
Faction
That was sought
And won
And at the same time, none
of these.
Mostly, sometimes, always -
Never;
Every word a concept-phrase, a phase
And in the end, a puff of air;
An I-don’t really-care-it doesn’t-matter, patter
Glib, an empty fib, semantic gibberish,
Emptied, slowed,
With no place on this earth to go.
It isn’t pleasant.
Left inside – the present:
Not one bit of optimism,
[maybe just] a hint of hope;
All the rest a “Nope,
‘this is a puff of air” its definition.
Revelation
Isn’t always fair
(With no one really to complain to.)

One Second Paradise
It’s all you need:
If you’re the type
To notice that:
Events are synchronicitous,
Signs are serendipity,
Grace seems present all the time,
Then seconds
Transform everlastingly.

A Place Where Common Sense Has No Place
Sitting here: (I am)
A black hole,
No light coming out,
And suddenly,
I’m letting light
Come out of me.
Letting it!
I give out radiation.
℘
The really little part,
The center of the center
So tiny,
So minute:
Indiscernible.
Smaller than the smallest.
Compressed,
Dense,
Energy enormous:
God.
℘
We, extended and complex –
Variations on a theme.
A place
Where common sense
Makes no sense;
Where nothing is predictable:
Not even existence.

Before Bed
My logic tells me you’re not there;
Faith tells me you are; Far
Beyond the mind behind and intellect,
Reached only by that pair: the paradox.
The rest is tedium,
A medium of bubbles, changes,
Disappearances,
History repeating the illusions
Grand and small: It all.
There is, can be no crucial
Thing to justify a clinging to,
It being all
A movie reel.
℘
To seal the role
And steal the whole of you,
The prayer,
A substance light as air,
The core is nothing more
Than faith –
To act on, live off,
Work out, work off:
Nothing more.

A Poem Based On Anything
I was divorced
Before I knew I was divorced.
“In your own little world”
A friend observed.
There and taking part,
The heart
lay elsewhere:
Many wheres
Body moved,
Senses worked,
The flow of destiny unjerked
(just flow – accepted flow)
And waiting
All the while
For heart to smile
And set off inspiration.

My Heart Is Growing Tenderer
I’ve noticed that
My heart is growing tenderer.
I suffer with the sufferer.
I never thought I’d reach it:
Crying with my nice bank manager who’s lost her cat,
A newly widowed someone… fancy that!
Not sentiment,
Not sentimental –
Something new, original,
Its source untraceable.
Shield asonder,
Heart a new surrenderer,
No longer hinderer
Or flounderer,
Waiting for I-don’t-know-what,
But even more expandable.

Working It Through, Through Coincidence
Working it through
Through coincidence:
A recent book
Gotten by chance
That coincides with an election.
Another book that coincides
(also by chance) with Monday’s
Noble Prize announcement.
Silly me sees God.
It steers me forward.
Laws/organization
In a life I don’t control.
To feel connection,
To perceive it,
Knowing that I know,
And that it all applies
To me, the I, with eyes
To see it.
Good, bad neutral;
Everything is possible.
Everything and anything.
How cool!

Breaking It Down Into Fractions
How much can it be broken down?
Vaguely, sharply, suddenly
I see the possibility
Of fractions’ paring
Scaling power:
Endlessly.
Concentrated, minimized.
Devoured by; endowed
With something like
An inner sense,
A riddle answered and rewarded:
What surrounds can be reduced
Without being diminished
Ever,
Infinitely.
Something I
Can’t get and never may be able to
Get this small head around,
But nonetheless like very much.

Nothing Belongs To Me Do you recognize yourself - Tool in the cause Of cause and effect, Finding yourself doing your life At levels unavoidable? Yoga-izing n the plough. Huxley’s door! Wow! Nothing’s mine. Not now, Not ever. Comings, goings, Objects, humans, ideas too - Nothing near or dear is you Or yours. I’d known that In my intellect. I really knew it then.
That Big and small Make five foot one inch Eight feet tall. It’s all on loan. Don’t weep.

Cleaner Now One of those insights: Cleanliness. I saw the body (inner eyed) A channel, tube to daub and scrub. There it was: my revelation; Eyes, nose, anus, Skin, tongue, penis, And vagina. Something holy. Surely, truly. Revelation; Clean the feet, Between the toes. God knows, Life’s movement feels better. Clean the drains. The brain said great! Porcelain; Round, in the bath. You’re large, recharged, Ordered, purer, Wisdom more. Don’t ask me for An explanation.
