the man of misbegotten peace
is a casualty of forgetful war
& a minefield of unexploded
rage.
what is the fate
of a sky god without
lightning? of a castrated
stallion?
what happens when
the sea of dreams turns
black?
fear rules in the kingdom
of smoldering anger
where anxiety reigns
down.
relax
like the heart of a volcano
erupting on a quiet day in
samsara
& realize that nirvana
can be perfectly formed
of fuming smoke &
ash.
