stop thinking &
nothing will be misunderstood
stop resisting
& even gravity can't hold you down
stop breathing
become the breath
ii
try as hard as you want
you’ll never empty the soul
of love
when you fully accept the flesh
sparks will fill every pore
iii
keep seeking &
the end of the search
will find you
desire can help
in the daylight
magnetism works especially well
in the dark
iv
when we finally meet
forever will have a new start.
v
for our honeymoon
we’ll glide through the doors
of perception
& brunch in Xanadu
trudge the doughty steps
of purgation
stroll the starry streets
of paradise
we’ll flutter like butterflies
then consume the flame
crash the bardo
& make the scene like shades
when we reach the
non-existent ground of being
blaring lights will pierce the
nothing left
of us
what do we care
in this careless
honey time
leaving our forgotten
shapes
behind
vi
nirvana york is our summer camp
let’s dive and swim in the lake
we’ll splash and play all we want to
and never a wave we’ll make.
