The Shiva Sutras

I am posting  a version of the
Shiva Sutras that I typed onto ink blots
back in 1968
(The sutras are useful
and the ink blots are beautiful)

this is for Jesus
this is for Jesus
caused nobody else is listening
Jesus by default
halfway to Calvary
waiting on the end of days
or the jackpot
that’s the Mona Lisa
inscrutable smile
ease of days
Grace
what passeth all understanding
but comforts my confusion
waiting on the end
for here are the empty nights
that follow the lonesome days
they cover the loathsome ways
of the enterprise
did the Lord give [...]

I saw her in the distance
