dark for all of me.
Let the night be too dark
for me to see
into the future.
Let what will be,
be.

that has traveled through wind for years-
I sleep and my heart stays awake.

Who gets up early to discover the moment light begins?
Who finds us here circling, bewitched, like atoms?
—Rumi
pours light
into every cup,
quenching darkness.
The proudly pious
stuff their cups with parchment
and critique the taste of ink
while God pours light...
without worry of redemption,
every blossom a chalice.
with words that wet their parched lips...
pours like rain
into every empty cup
set adrift on the Infinite Ocean.

You too are a tree.
During a storm of emotions,
you should not stay at the level of the head or the heart,
which are like the top of the tree.
You have to leave the heart,
the eye of the storm,
and come back to the trunk of the tree.
Focus there,
paying attention only
to the movement of your abdomen,
and continue to breathe.
—Thích Nhất Hạnh

AFTERNOON
You wear your silence
as a black silk gown,
woven infinitesimal,
every thread a letter
of your lover's name.
a trembling at the touch
of those invisible lips.
The motion of that kiss
has no first cause,
but a stirring in the groin
of loss.
as a flame without a wick
to entice the dawn.
to be quiet and empty,
because there is honey
in each cell of darkness
and the tomb is full of wine.
does not consume the moon,
the stars, the pit
in the swirl of yearning
with a tongue of fire that
tastes the subtle, ruthless,
delicate blade of love
between heartbeats, ...
from the center
of your desolation.
and empty,
which is not enough.
for a God to say,
"Let there be light."
all these veils ...
in the moment before
you were born.
