Let my face cave into your SELF.
Every picture of my thought
spills out of being wordless.
Let my fear of you go,
let lion talk. Let the lion see.
The sun doesn’t bother what goes on
when it rises and sets on earth.
The disk of the world’s hidden side
is a darkness on my light.
The wonder of that silent spreading corona
pulls away the cloth behind my eyes.
I have no support. The saying stops.
Let soles of my feet be eyes
to see and love, pick up the ground.
The darkness on the sun
is angel’s finger on my lips
stopping speech, making me hear.
I wonder much at my concerns.
As the reel unrolls, I clench in my seat
so forming views ; the Inward, inexpressible
gift of the holy, returns
as soon as I go.
No matter what happens
to me, my walls arise and fall, like
Rome on the ocean wave.
The safety in just looking
has no sense at all.
It takes the risk,
the leaping
of the absolute deer
and skittering over the threshold
pushed, each moment
opens from each point
of space a bright DAN DE LION —
Be brave ! be bold ! be
absent !
Let it go !
When chimerae collide
in the upkeep clashing, let
the Lion see
how in relationship,
several masks combine,
clashing and colliding
anxiety and peace.
Raising your heads together,
unquiet mother and fishy friend,
let your patterns pull
and drag you home.
The pull to drown within
opens the flower’s corona upturned:
a voice with
nothing to say.
