Each day I let go
That’s how I know I’m clinging
Farther…closer still

The knots and tangles —
Hair informs that Indra’s Net
Weaves nothing to life

Intrinsic value
Rooted in moments unused
Why long for the ring

I did it to you
I paid the price in your mistakes
I did it to me too

As the traffic screams
As demands call violently
The stillness deepens

The rose bud needs not
An audience adorning
Alone — it wins hearts

somewhere in between a second ago and my next step
something that doesn't need to let go because there's nothing to let go of
only to understand

layers we can't fully experience, but know

simply having trust in the dissolution of thought


(but sometimes I see your face in my head for 3 seconds and it brings me to a state of distraught)


no palladium for me
a free being, same as the energy that flows with the leaves
no conversations regarding what a nuisance I was with no decency

that was then

and change is now, every millisecond

how could we possibly
p     re

ten
d.

??? (!!)

When sheltered from rain
You’re fixed on the greys above;
Play in the puddles
