Rob Schackne #730 - Life On Mars

Life On Mars

                       for Sarah St Vincent Welch

Old snakes say
don’t tread on me
watch where
you step

neti neti

not this, not this
it's the Vedas

rust my heart
shine the pieces
that still can shine

tat tvam asi
at any rate
you’re it


fuhgeddaboudit

life on Mars
write like
it's a world
caving in

    1. Ah. I reckon the perfect heart
      expands to accommodate
      the imperfect world. Crusades
      have been fought on this subject,
      so this is only my opinion -
      the thumbscrews say I've got heaps.
