1127

without a thought in my head

a little effort at meditation

can you imagine what such a silence suggests?

beyond mere breath

a striving for the nothing there –

the all-beyond of strife

as if a breeze from empty air

between the ears

and all of this something

always something else

mind trains on

must keep an image tether to

make sure that I don’t float away

empty ideal you could say

but shhhhhhh!

all such bubbles are soap

so portentous

in order not to have a care

to brush off the grime of day

must sometimes trick myself from thinking

so make all things new and far

the colour of nothing

is all of this time between zero and one

fall through or for it

and from this great height

it is a well, moon minded

dust of nothing

and no one to kick

we imagine

join dotted lines

so far and away so good

the head returns to a roll in the hay

listen for it

how the world stops at the top of the clock

an open window

or else I’m a mirror

step through

insects land from the future

not a thought in their heads

but here we are

life in the egg

bound to be like this

cross the eyes

and dot the teas

worry us into a new disease

try not to follow a train

or stoke

electrify

keep parallel with tracks

deal with the simplest facts of brain

and so on till infinity

come clouding clear

in a glass of water

follow a lit speck there

I make myself a fascination

to be unknown among my works

lauded for such absence

interested in everything

and so it is we must imagine

blank mind

pure soul

clear heart
