So set
So safe
In my own
Cell of inviolability
Like a spectator within the cage of a zoo
Looking in at himself

Impregnable
Of the seed of pain
Least in grow into compassion
In the womb of my heart
And tear me away from from my distinction from others

And there I stood with all the authority granted me by grandiosity herself
Creating a steady stream representatives to go before me without number
Least none reach the king inside his sandcastle
And trouble his throne of certainty
And take his crown of convenience
And steal his bed laurels that he slept upon.
And awaken him from his dream


I lay there reclined
Under the covers of my right to be indifferent
Peeking out with one eye open
Interrupted by love attempting to only
Awaken me from my pretense of slumber
With its bell of truth
Life itself interrupting mine
Like a rude undertaker in the guise of a doctor
Interrupting the rhythm of my contracted heart
Splashing water on my face that I was hiding

Dire be the way!
With its ominous foreboding of enlightenment
The daystar arising
Ransacking me of the forbidden fruit of the garden
Fooling me away from my foolishness and making wise the fool
Answering me according to my own folly
Disheveled in eating the fruit of my own devices
I disgorged the apple the serpent beckoned me to consume
And my eyes were opened in disillusionment
Shameless naked and groundless
In the twinkling of an eye
Freed from the form of being the particular
Awarded the wings of preferencelessness
Soared I miles upon miles without a beating of the wing
I traveled abroad
I seen the world without leaving home
And traversed without purse or staff
Like a wild vine reaching up into the heavens growing there without leaving here
Its roots firm in the dust and ashes
Beckoned by the sun to come into being
Rose I to the occasion
Acceptance without acquiescence
The will freed of itself at last.
With a word yet unspoken
