Memory
I’ve walked so far
and gotten nowhere.
I contain endless memories
yet I own nothing.
My heart knows
the falling out
the falling down
the falling away
it remembers breaking
and dreams of ascending
and the endless labors
which daily life is famous for.
Titanic, lying memories
forfeiting time
lay in shards
at my feet.
My eyes clarify
without the nescience
of those terrestrial daydreams
and an ancient aria
I forgot to look for
shouts louder now
from the inside
of my temporary heart.

Washing windows
Washing windows
must see the air
as it whips through trees
under birds wings.

It’s raining
It’s raining
I sit where
I love to be
in the half light
melting
into the
starving
earth
leaves glow
mirrors reflect
everything
I think I see.

Flooding
Flooding
Within the
shadowy waters
of illusion
I built thick
castle walls
sunken deep
in those hazy waters
my heart froze
and slept for eons.
Awakened from this
deep sleep of ignorance
by a flood of
Your liberating
monsoon rain
You’ve opened the sky
in my heart
and the
walls of my fortress
are a sunken wreck
I have floated
to the surface
waves
crushed my body
as I rose You
carefully collected
all the lost parts
and knitted me
together with
Your lovely hands
saturated with
eternal love.
