Preacher.
Sinner the best at sinning in disguise,
You wonder who's the culprit,
of that reward, and I say,
It's that preacher at the pulpit.

A Thousand Stones
Thousand stones of memories
in Mason Jars out of reach
Now shattered lanterns
with wings and angel songs

Veil of Green
In nature's Autumn theater
listening to a silent breath
beneath this veil of green
as I sleep, horizon I see
floating in the air...
death's serenity

An undressed woman
An undressed woman
is a form to lay bare
the vulnerable
in myriad colors:
live sensuous delicious
like true sex exposing
naked truths through body
peep into ever
growing consciousness

Witness
Be the ocean, the blue sky.
From that vastness
Witness the waves, the clouds
Settling and disappearing
Into stillness, emptiness
The light within.

Everything.
Collides.
Together.
In a kaleidoscopic.
View.
Then.
Dissipates.
Back.
Into.
Nothing.

Listening to Pendulum
Insomnia of ghosts, intimacy with death
and porcelain headaches, sleeping over
Winding up the bird of paradise
listening to the pendulum
awaken Genesis...

Conditioned Existences of Realized Beings
Buddha was the teacher;
Jesus, the martyr.
The difference: The amount of effort their societies put into killing them.

Who is it who is happy?
The mind is happy.
Who suffers?
The mind suffers.
Wherever these things arise, that’s where they cease
