Where Sake's Sent
Onoma Mar 2018
for god
in the
man of me,
where sake's
sent.
be so kind
as to tell where
good becomes
good.
bad
becomes bad.
feel your toes
spread in your shoes,
under your own weight.
then get back to me,
without taking a step.

Original Face
Onoma Oct 2014
First and Last impression foisted a revelatory sheath that
is the looking glass of all incarnation.
Revelatory sheath Facing both ends of the whited tunnel...
prior to birth when exiting...upon death when entering.
What was, is, will be Faced...prelude to the sound of
silence...that is the mouth of the nameless called by Name.
White pearls that spun their shells, as dilating eyes that
behold self in no-self.
Space fatigued by perfect stillness...self in no-self, suspended
animation...whose mind is allotted infinite motion.
The Original Face...***** features insure paradox...must be
worn and beheld Wholly...lest a chaotic incoherence whorls...
irregardless of the image of self...imageless no-self.
If Pure Consciousness had a Face--divested of its Way through
materiality, to melt by that which it cannot transcend...how
would it appear?


*"Original Face" is a Zen terminology referring to our face before we incarnated.

You're Fully Committed
Onoma Oct 2018
the scent of closeness,

carries with it the tumid

space of animal nature.

edges encountering edges in

brilliant survey...some will

surpass others for survival.

matters of all stripe will inform

the balance, you're fully committed...

there's no way out.

no way in.

dig deep, then dig deeper...forget

flesh--bone is only the beginning.

we eat ourselves alive, as well as

others.

bones are the impartial memory of that

hunger...continuously recoated with

flesh till that hunger's no more.

Confer Openness
Onoma Aug 2016
If Love is openness...
that which gives
Love, receives it in the
same breath.
In that same breath
Love can claim what
gave and received, to
confer openness upon
that which remains...
and that which does not.

cutting all the excess fat

a snowflake falls at the

Take This
Onoma May 2017
once there's ash
what's left to split
in twain?
hands will not doubt
what's too late for
giving.
waste is the ruddied
stock footage of a
setting sun.
we will be forced to
watch.
begging to give with
both hands.

Being That Clear
Onoma Apr 2015
A sunny blue sky
strong enough to speak
about being that clear...
all these buds feel as

tenderness...more

Initiations of Eyes
Onoma Apr 2016
Beauty is the only
vestige that can bear
to be alone with
freedom.
It's that which has
surfaced against
an infinite backdrop.
For the mysterious
initiations of eyes.

Companion Charms
Onoma May 2017
By these slips of watery pieces,
fit against a waste of boulders--
this shoreline mirrors my
companion charms.
In the rub of spirit ventured,
the sea as flung ripples its
net in kind.
A play of seams to set boundaries--
though these words remain unwet,
their eyes are now a sea.
One continual flow in a surrender
of motion, like unto like--a common
drift coming by, and come by...
in an arrest of peace.
Nothing need move, or not move--
yet both bypassed.
All that's walled welled up, as if
passed over to capable hands that
feel for depths and shallows alike.

Wide-eyed Son
Onoma Dec 2015
Wanderer, signing off with
worming vacancies...heard
by golden silence treading
the floorboards of heaven.
Given to evolving vacuity...
wide-eyed son
undone by inner vocality.
Knowing distance is the
crux of a hereafter...
a distanceless hush abides.
Personed by place, placed
by person.

Thoroughness
Onoma Apr 2015
As the walls wear gold,
where they wore black--
as the waking that's awoken...
as the sleeping that's slept...
the thoroughness of it all
lives us to surrender.

Forgotten Rim
Onoma Nov 2018
an overflowing

cup's a toroidal field...

like overhead strokes

continually replenishing

the cup because the

rim was forgotten.

In Brilliant Lieu Of
Onoma Mar 2016
The blueness of
this sky...has
championed
the suddenness of
things.
Emboldened of color,
as thy will be done.
Godspeed in brilliant

evils as the bare
necessities of peace.

In an Obsession of Light
Onoma Mar 2019
having walked the

high seas of streets--

and seen the slant

births of suns slide

the spring of their time.

my heart broke wide

open, in an obsession

of light.

i was no more me, than

you are you...the light

though.

stays the course.

The Great Hiding
Onoma Jul 2019
finding wonderment fully responsive--

and never feeling more seen, I come

inherent with asking.

as with a fruit burst ripe through a page

of air--how is it you have come out of

the Great Hiding?

to offer what you buried under many a

season for safekeeping?

a love's Love, fierce with the preludiums

of stark blindness, a mere entry point

for the beginning of surrender.

there will be so many moments of arms

to die in--I am readying wholes of me

my Love.

Johnny from Patmos
Onoma Mar 2017
Salt-grain-taken greetings

from the land of curmudgeons,

powwow in these

craters of overblown canticles.

Dragon-puff proofed spirits

with the matchsticks of nigh-nights...

till we add eyes to the lambs of

Johnny from Patmos.

We can disturb the peace, till it

spews war from windows--gag

reflexes of great purges.

Catching venom samples in our

plastic cups, for posterity's telltale tipples.

Etching paralysis through deadlocked

saints and sinners.

Goodnight
Onoma Apr 2017
Sometimes before
putting out the
light for bed, I
ask myself: where
have you been
all day... how did
you get here?
With a matter of
factness that could
chill a ghost.

The Great Wave
Onoma Nov 2014
Light entered newly, continually...touching light
that imaged--I swore I was there, yet there was
elsewhere.
I could isolate no thing and call it mine.
Bluing takes on blue--bluer elimination rounds
of sloshing sublimity...swelling, welling
and sparkling.
A heart mouthing its breaker...as Hokusai's immortal
upheaval, the shape of cataclysmic implication lent
to shapeless actuation (futurity).
You and I could be counted among those drown by
a nuetrally charged force of nature (Love).
Peace be on the heart that could not help but take
it personal...peace be on it.
Dark entered newly, continually...touching dark
that imaged not--I swore I was there, yet there was
elsewhere...O impossibly personal/impersonal One!
Tears of brine can be tasted...how bitter they are--
the Ocean has shifted the focus of her love.
*Inspired by: "The Great Wave off Kanagawa"...about heartbreak.

Flow-ers said their

Standing Structure
Onoma Feb 2016
As a nail is forgotten
in the wood it's driven
in...confounding purposes
uphold liberating ones.
The dull aches of those
inveterate grayish regions
of a standing structure--
inversion of human proportion...
sanctum sanctorum.
A tribute to the soul suffering a body.

Claustrophobic Allegiance

Rocking in place,

The windows are open...
the room is
breathing with me...
a perfect
vitality assigns
passage...
as the unanswerable
ripens its blessing.
Onoma Dec 2013
...A wooden shed leaning
drunkenly...
propped atop erratically
rolling hills.
The breaking end of
schooling clouds...return
sunlight in their wake.
Idiotic tracts of land
left strangely...opened...candid.
An actual conversation...between
God and country.

Might I Bid You Farewell
Onoma Apr 2015
Might I bid you farewell: madame, sir?
It is in such a way of my ways that
this farewell's come.
The presence of my absence rests
everywhere...will you feel it?
Madame, sir...are the pair of you
disinclined to gather my absence?
That is, has our supernatural
acquaintance minded the material
script, merely minded the material
script?
If so, I should take this moment, as
it surely takes me, to propose my
soul.
It is such farewells that ferry us to
the supernatural, it too will mind
its script.
It is when it has minded its script...
that you will know the presence of
my absence.

Tracing to their Source

When they reach

Pig of Non Being
Onoma Oct 2016
Necro night, obsessive polish...
smooth as a piano's torso.
A man profanes the vested
interests of his body with starry
eyeshot.
Stuffing the pig of non being
with a star's nonlinear light.
The rapid fire vexations of a
king invade him, unspecified
bidding must be carried out.
He sees the world scurry,
sevitude's hand and foot--the
glutted pig of his non being
belches tremulously.
The horror of full emptiness
drives him from star to star, his
subjects multiply to appease
the royal malcontent.
He tears into curses cast at God,
the king blacks out.
The night sits encased in a man's
room, ants of darkness crawl on
him...he lets out a sigh...then begs
sleep.

Natural Haste of Tresspass
Onoma May 2017
Biting deep, breaking the red

to acquire taste rife with scales...

ripe truths on the rot.

The Great Consoler
Onoma May 2016
There was this little girl's
face in a passing stroller...

tear lay on her left

Except, her ******

Her eyes were wide
with expanse, the
Great Consoler had
already dissolved

What Sees Is Carried Away
Onoma Jan 2017
Preludium: as gaps fulfill
their color...
may we be privy
to dream.
From a cornered
eye, freed from
its perfect cut...
true to life, yet not.
A sharp right into
blue.
Its sky slid the
silent take of a red
tail hawk...caught
to the gravity of a limp bird, shrunk by shock.
I sat by, the bird's feathers fell
in countered curls and spins.
Amidst parkland, near a
pitcher's mound...snow
traced its fall the night prior.
The wind blew, and I
swear...snowflakes coupled
with those falling feathers.
What's out of sight is always
gentle--what sees is carried
away.

Alphabet Soup

Eating alphabet soup--

with mind-bent spoons...

goosing bumps piggyback,

skinny dipping.

Spectatorship's: know thy shelf.

Ill-placed.

Scarlet letter bib, cold-footed

baby steps...vomitous nerves,

stage fright.

Pregnant pauses--flaccid

deflation, upon a falsely infirm

plane.

Dubbed drainingly impassioned,

by peer rear-views.

Pindrop Turnings
Onoma Aug 2019
her haunts still rain the pindrop

turnings of their recesses--

where no wind could wrest her

words to solitude.

her throat raising sounds rapt in

the beginnings of song--the flight

patterns of birds upon a sky's

private screening.

she softly traded hands upon her

throat, her fingertips tickled by

the meaning of everywhere at once.

with everywhere in mind, she took

her time with every little thing, carrying

its note.

now her song is building to the point--

ears may be struck deaf by a silence

that was indeed golden.
