Soft directions
meet and mesh
a rock formation

will surpass any scripture.

The most primitive fruit
is the shape of a heart
gone hard.          Fossils follow

a ghost in the dirt.

A householder
who is a true devotee
lives in this kingdom of
tracing patterns.

Unparalleled study of
          muscular activity.

Generating heat
           but no waste.

Heightening visual acuity 


are colored oils
in the cones of the retina
swans & eagles use

for springs unattached
to the nectar of
whom do you say you return to,
with your eyes closed,
when no one else is awake?

Scene Three

A honey leached through the living.


A flood leads to remarkable fertility
in a cage
to protect the heart; a kind of glass
used for domestic purposes
remains engrossed with the reflection.

Most sensitive messages don’t trigger a response.

Breaking the shell of glass, the reflection
begged the Master to keep him alive

as possible by the waves, the many colors

The Master makes his own, there are
different colours because it is contact with the

thousand petal really black Lotus             floats
sometimes Mine, sometimes not

Scene Four

The colour provides a continuous network

Trapped in his name, the sea was
millions of messages crossing

    “drama of the body.”

“The obviously analogy is
with saying

this is that which has no colour of its own

and is true for all nights
but not the ones that follow.

And it thus follows tha
in repeating the name you
get closer to the formless
way it acts

with your eyes closed may appear
without attributes and release
from the heat of currents dispersed

across great distances

an unified body

Scene Five

Drops of water
gather his name
on a red-hot frying pan.

The people realize
he looks out of the world
into the mouth of the unknown 
& exclaims “Ah!

Gives up intimacy
to light the path of 
a more pleasurable science

after pondering over the image
when his mind is on the wave
may just produce a mild sound
but leave no wake?

An ordinary fly
yearning for honey

calculating difference
between shade
and shadow

from the flowers

unattached
to vegetables

‘only’. ‘

Scene Six

Smoke soils the wall at the temple, was

resting after his noon meal, in the afternoon, A

bout the sun in them the Encyclopedia says,

“Smoke is the visible product that appears to be 

emanating from breathe. But how else

does the body say ‘I am Him.’           This

‘O Jamuna. If I have not eaten anything to-day, then
may your waters part so that we may all walk to the other

end of sorrow

and think that the self is dead

combustion that is carried away by a current of gases and

Spider and its Web

Erode

The horizon fractures
the eye into events.

Streams of water during a heat wave
like mica sparkle against the black ground.

Quartz, grains of sand
consist largely of ancient rocks,
a watery fruit

weathering the bulk of what moves freely
amongst crystal structures

as milk we thought he was drinking.

an ash

into the air,

causing a stir among the believers

who’d been waiting for proof
that he listens to you

and was thus alive,
or will forever live,
like any other stone.

of an undercroft

a pattern beneath

The prolonged rain
          on a slopping curve
                    is the vehicle
                              that incarnates as
                                        slow drifting story.
                                                  Whereas the white horse it hunts is an individual
unable to make up its mind. Acting often, on opposite effect, a weird wind
between a horse running wild and the rain                              is a bolt trapped
                                or otherwise              how i’ll be able to trace
                                shallow seas                        dare not disturb.

                              When you are asleep my skin absorbs the sun
retains a certain landscape.          The way it melts          is the opposite of how you
          open your eyes in the morning                    unable to differentiate between
                    the warm presence                    from this ice age
                                     made possible             by a single event.

continents

                                                            the life it will take
                                                                      to another movie
moving                                                            (in
                        across the skies                                              your hand)

                                        when no one cried                                                  were
                                                        this time                                                 a coincidence

                                                                                unseen          still          blinded
