Gods And Goddesses
Onoma Feb 2019
there are gods

and goddesses

greater than you.

that put things in

place so you can

grow up to them.

as to know what you

wander through.

able to survive in

mythological wilds.

one lost mind at a

time.

Rigors of Flow
Onoma May 2016
As a bubbling
brook speaks
whisperingly the
rigors of flow...
I cannot help
but overhear.

Free Falling Butterflies
Onoma Oct 2016
Leaves...
free falling
butterflies,
riding sacred
exhalations...
seamless from
earth to air,
air to earth.
Winter will
be bare.

Incredible Symbol
Onoma May 2022
rain is popping

off my awning

now--it's as if

i can see a herd

of droplets scattered

to quench the ground.

saturation is an incredible

symbol.

Allows Appearance
Onoma Mar 2022
black has

consoled the light

of color.

especially when

it allows for appearance.

Undressed Wound
Onoma Mar 2017
All having come from

an undressed wound,

whose fully enveloped

bloom knows the ****** tug

of the moon.

We her mad children, pulled

from the trauma unit of

creation...spend a lifetime

trying to stay with what's in

front of us.

Times's blackout trifecta...

whose lapsing present seems

to always beg: stay with me!

Slate of Ignorance
Onoma May 2016
When you've filled
the slate of ignorance
with knowing...
wipe it clean with
that Knowing.

Monotonia
Onoma Jan 2017
Crowning canopies
of trees,  mid monotonia
to their wood, huddled
in prayer.
Cobwebed against the great ultramarine Eight--
brittle scintillas, gloaming
to vespers.

Signs the Cross
Onoma Jan 2017
When the brain
is skinned by
ceasuras of light...
the uni-verse
signs the cross

Bide my Clarity
Onoma Feb 2019
the sky cannot follow what

it has occasioned, so i bide my

clarity through snow.

the ground becoming a vast

return, indistinguishably white

from the sky.

now and again--there's nowhere

for a moment to go.

To the Touch
Onoma Mar 2017
There are edges lined

with fingers more soluble

than salt--they feel for

preservation.

The equal agency

of nature, shaped indelibly

to the touch.

You figure into surfaces

that only exist because of

their depths.

The ratios of chills register.

Growth in Tidal Surges
Onoma Oct 2021
as land left

off its wilt, growth

in tidal surges.

forming pyramidal heads

of mountains.

any vista is a clarity...

too suitable for a discerning

mind.

She's one hell of a dancer...

strong enough to remain on

the ground with no one around.

till lifted way up.

The Infinite Dressing Room

The Infinite Dressing Room...

As what changes does so

Tempest's Assistance
Onoma Jun 2018
amalgamated June,
you've yet again been
taken up by the year
of your lord--
furrowed brow spread
fast to the skull,
glazed in contemplative
oils.
high noon drop down
of sun's cymbal...
clanging at the rim,
in gushes of sound.
all coming alive around
you, now square the peace of
minds that seek survival.
divvy it up, bury that
parsimonious fist, and
apportion the newborn
and seasoned alike!
assure all with that snappy
blue sheet you fly and
fan a blizzard of cottonwood
seeds with.
these keynote speakers of
silence you undo the land
with, as they touch all the
right and wrong places.
swelling a lubricious humidity,
a writhing--cut suddenly free.
quicksilver fish, lightning--
kindle-coal, ****.
in need of tempest's assistance--
June!

To Become Lucid
Onoma Jun 2016
Does every
sense perception
dream exclusively?
If so, they're bound
to get lost...and
emerge out of one
another.
Eventually agreeing
to meet at the same
spot...to become
lucid.

Rim of a Puddle

A nimbus spreads
toward the rim of
a puddle...
legs hopping its
saintly sun,
down-to-earthly.

Lips to All Creation
Onoma Feb 2018
dress flowing
to fringes
of space--
her untouched
hands upon
hands smoothing
its creases.
with the delicacy
of a bird dying
mid flight.
where letting go,
goes not a moment
too soon.
that's your elegance.
you put your lips
to all creation too see
if it fevers.
knowing you're
always responsible.
*To the Sacred Feminine.

Bloodless Spelling
Onoma May 27
A vessel becomes the

planchette of depths,

moved by the underbelly

of a storm.

Drawn all the way out,

to know how it's seen.

The bloodless spelling

of its own name.

Splashes of Craziness
Onoma Dec 2019
splashes of craziness paint

the blood of the wine--

blotch and splotch a bed

tirelessy made and unmade.

love's fevered rouse bolting

up, bones not knowing what

hit them.

scratch that--they know what

hit them, hence the craziness.

Backwater Ophelias
Onoma Nov 2023
backwater Ophelias

clamp down on flinting

ice.

her first blanched splash

floats the many more

of her.

foresworn shockproof

flowers blush her head,

as they do her toe.

bitter murk cross-eyed...

following along.

still.

Cut to The Cliff
Onoma Mar 2019
overarching angel--

guardian to this exile,

as love cut to the cliff.

a footfall from plunge--

grimaces at the stranding

long of the blue.

as if the sun were casting

the sparks of aspersions.

while simpering salts

season fish and devils--

wiling away their lot of depth.

if shore be shelter, let this no

man's land be worth spit!

as waste is laid the length of a

man without a woman's touch.

Blind Milk
Onoma Jan 2017
At the peak of
presence imposed,
wet with rise and
fall...you eulogized
something that could
not escape us.
We grounded the sky,
we skied the ground...
the circumvented posts
of our eyes ran as blind milk.

Words Are Flies
Onoma May 2017
Words are flies
praying over the
meat of the matter...

Coffer
Onoma Apr 2017
Secrets self-combust,
inexplicably slip
a tongue's tongue...
dryly rifling
at rows of teeth.
Whose cratered mouth
makes a display of
savage grace.

Just Another Philosophy
Onoma Apr 2019
no Shakti--

no Libertation.

beware these

feel good, non dual

Advaita teachers.

pawning just another

philosophy.
*First among that fake fat **** Mooji.
Onoma Aug 2023
an Alpha roar is lifted

& dropped down on this wilderness

once.

as the predation of aloneness

disperses.

its raw throat rations the meal

of a first ****--with no one but Self...

because something died when born.

as every re attached to that born,

feeds Omega.

Come to be Measurable
Onoma Jan 2022
snow has to

unglue her face,

to uplift from a

blanket.

as she's coming

around...I regret

I forgot to check

in on her.

though temporary

whiteness has come

to be measurable.

New Number
Onoma May 2017
Of all observable phenomena,
you persist most favorably.
A circular hub of arrows aimed
at a center already hit, dislodging
freedom.
Arrowheads split down a hair.
Epiphanous bulbs counting
the new number needed to
stay conscious.
Of you.

Mystic Abeyance

face mask.

Her Throat
Onoma Jun 2019
what is it to wake up

and weep?

have the pits of your

eyes crushed?

she gives me the Ganges.

as my crown arcs it's

fiercely proud sputter--

she watches clear mala

beads spray into the cave

of my Spiritual Heart.

Mothering shattering

experience.

She's so thirsty--from

giving, that her One drink's

a full remembrance.

it is there that water clears

her throat--and I kiss it.

Fully & Truly.

Vital Queen
Onoma Apr 2018
the world is
full of
people who can't
make eye
contact.
so you stare
them down
all at
once,
and come out through
the back
of their heads.
keep going baby girl,
blink back
their
divided houses.
follow the waving beam of
light.
you vital Queen,
slouch in
your throne
and
scratch your
******!
make mercy beg
for your
forgiveness,
leave your
scent upon
the "blind deaf
stone".
sell *** back to
itself, if it
cheapen the
thrall of your
ecstasy.
yours is the only
dance i know
truer than
matter,
as matter.
you lost your
mind to smaller
ones, who could
not find proof of yours.

Minny Moons
Onoma Jan 2019
it is dark enough

to be dined upon,

as if every motion

were a mouth.

in a forest whose

stomach has expanded

to desolation.

it is there a pack of wolves

surrounded me.

they smelt of burning firewood,

their matted fur popped electric

blue static.

they just kept circling me slowly,

not a growl to be heard.

then in graceful unison, they lowered

themselves to the ground and rolled

over.

exposing their bellies to me, i fell to my

knees and gave each wolf a belly rub

with a hand that felt no longer my own.

minny moons, orb-like replicas began falling...as i

watched some land on the wolves bellies and dissolve.

we out-howled the confines of earthly joy.

above us, that's what she was already

crying with.

The Shape of Things
Onoma Jun 2019
though a circle dissolves--

never underestimate its

memory.

it is far more than the

shape of things.

how many oceans has

it married--tell me?

how many is it marrying,

will marry?

there does come a time

when you get centered

in it--with your greatest love.

to finally let go of the shape

of things.
333 · Apr 2018
Half's Whole Spectrum
Onoma Apr 2018
to hate with a hate that
scandalizes half of hell--
to love with a love that
scandalizes half of heaven.
moreover, as one another.
merely par for the course.
whole as lungs in the
balance of air, for what's
risen has fallen.
what's fallen has risen.
as every truth a tired
hypocrisy.

Though Invoked Distinctly

Wisdom Called Out
Onoma Oct 2018
wisdom refuses

its words, as words

refuse their wisdom.

though appearing as

succinct expression...

there's no reflection

caught in realization.

no shakti to shed what

you would call wisdom.

Note Come to a Head
Onoma Jan 2017
We spend a lifetime
as the living intensity

A comet unstrung...

A Hush Moves

Dog-eared Day-dream
Onoma Mar 2017
Life, you're a broad enough word to

address this mere question:

why have you dreamt me so?

A wide-eyed clod outdone by a wider

grin, won't you tell?

You who'll dream the bones of me,

let on...spill the beans to your baby

boy.

I'm in fine condition to smooth the

flap of that dog-eared day-dream.

There's nothing I could offer you, is

there, a butterfly perhaps?

Aren't you the least tickled by the sly

prods of these questions, desirous as

they are...I suspect they beget more

dreams of me, best to shut up now.

Hunger Knows
Onoma Jun 2014
In the belly of burden,
flesh was held by
flesh.
Life drew life...as
that which hungers herself,
nourishes another hunger.
More full than this, there
is not...more empty than
this, there is not.
As the draw deepens...
hunger Knows what it
belabors.

Finis
Onoma Jun 2019
laying on air i trusted

in the falling crucifix--

as the long cosmic night

bore a tree from my heart.

wind wept holier and

holier spirit thru seasonless

leaves.

i was torn apart in moment

expanses, as gasp penetrated

gasp--newly formed foundation

spread an impossible strength.

intuiting circle-bound masters

whispering finis to engolden

To Emanate a Song
Onoma May 2017
Starting to emanate a song--
can't say about the 5 W's.
It doesn't belong to me.
It starts in and pushes, pushes
and pushes--till I can't breathe.
To the melody of the way things
gotta be.
I'm lost in composition, it's
far greater than me.
Steadily taking hellos and goodbyes
for all their worth.
It cuts through all these senses in an
attempt to multiply them.
What a song... I'm caving in
to the point of entering a new world.
There's nothing but space, seated on
the ground cross legged.
Riding vibrations that take what they
want.
Till I don't want them to stop, because
there's nothing left.
Only this song at the drop of a head,
as if every note picked a flower.

Shimmer and Shadow

Despite Clarity

water moves despite

snowflakes that rise

To Perfectly Forget
Onoma Jan 2016
Before a ration

To perfectly forget...

Taste The Light

Gatekeeper
Onoma Dec 2019
turned away by a gatekeeper

that kept mumbling: it is finished.

his undulant motions shadowed

the valley, and wore down his

features.

so that the mind may seize upon

itself, and cast deeply hid images--

i wanted to spit in his face.

he had no right to utter such finality,

all the while barring my passage.

by the fires that cook what stones have

bludgeoned, i went at him with all

that's finished...
