happenstance
It’s a matter of happenstance
and the deal
and the grave
The deal God made with the devil
Do you remember the train
in that old black and white movie
roaring through the night?
And that same old movie
the calendar’s daily pages
falling like leaves
The flickering days blown in the wind?
Our lives like leaves
our memories
Cleopatra on the Nile
I saw her in the distance

untitled: I’m moved
I’m moved
nowadays
by small things
which is better than nothing at all
but trite to write about
I’m glowing with platitudes
found it true that gratitude
is a quiet blessing
I think I’m ready
to give up ambition
renunciation fills me up
the autumn is so cool

as thin as smoke
as thin as smoke
incense before an altar
smelling of roses

phantoms
a life led
Maggy says we are the river
Maggy says we are the smoke
Maggy says we’re Living Spirit
Maggy says it’s not a joke

and though the feel is real
it’s the quiet visual
that leaves me dumbfounded

where we came from
it’s as much an “and” as an “or”
the opening and closing the door
and it’s a “letting go” for sure
I sound as though I’ve been there
we fell a long way
from “being”
to comprehensions
(and it’s awfully confusing
this comprehending,
this trying to understand)
but they tell me “knowing”
is where we’re going

I was telling Tee that I needed a simple text, an “Enlightenment for Dummies”, and she replied that finally there is no guide… you have to go the last step alone, uncharted… ultimately all the Gurus will tell you that for the finally step there is no path, no bridge. You have to jump… and [...]
