of the absolute noumena
resplendent in its luminosity...

Otherworldly Anomaly
It’s a long journey
from where I’m from. Light years away.
And then some.
Your TV transmissions kept me entertained.
But the News worried me. Perhaps more than it should have.
Upon my arrival I...

Small Fish
Holding onto a rail.

mirrored in the water
and small fish swimming
in the camouflage of me.
I muse whether they are feeding
on my thoughts, nibbling
on the strands that loosely
float my...

Freshly Cut Grass

In Choosing SeclusionChoice is a cause
Choosing brings effects.

Just joy, and understood tenderness.

Breath by breath thus, we chose to...

Zen modehumming toroidal heart
looks at the head ovoid
which now glistens with light
that is gifted to it by Self
which dwells in heart’s core
the seeker who sought is dead
all that that now glows is Self

Swans
I wonder how aware they are,
what shadowy sense of self
occupies their brain. Perhaps
no more than a flicker
of consciousness glows
