Comprende?
Then you surely are mistaken
What volumes exist beyond the finger
The finger will never know
limited views, and you really think you know?
Mark Wanless Sep 2016
Grating perceptions hammer spark
       The soul to bustion.
Natural flames sear thought flesh.
       Sentient fear
Boils consciousness to clinging
       Intensity and i, one.
Mark Wanless Sep 2016
No afflictive yearnings but joy
       moves a finger to compassion
Mind's miracle ever valid
       overlooked a thrilling for.

A blurring idiot frame of mind i've been
A brain reflexive
reality 101

Where does the poet go for inspiration?
No place is big enough
Little country tea cups
Quarts of ocean
Entire planets in the palm
Not here not here

Where does the heart go for being?
Everywhere is big enough.

I've been to a place before the time
of now somewhere a here

i loved a maiden who grew old in my arms
lolly do lolly do lolly do day

please believe the knowledge of past
here is a repeat of love and gast

what is a moment of real and now, it all is
a place to see a peace

some see past the pains of now and you
are it but you don't know how

do lolly do lolly do dow do day
oh lolly do lolly do lah do hey

now is hot the past is snow, the future
a time of magnificent woe

where can you be if here's not enough
no place no place no place enough

oh lolly do lolly do dolly do heh
do dolly do dolly do dolly do day
there is a rhythm in my mind anyway
