Freedom In Exile/Why Moses Wandered 40 Years In the Desert
To write from silence,
Merton's spoken silence--
True mind, free mind,
No-mind,
Land mine.
Dangerous territory
Errupts as the
Tenants of self get sucked into
The crevasse of freedom.
Like Moses sending the
Ten Commandment tablets
Crashing into the trouble makers' midst--
The ground opened,
The ground swallowed up
As Mother Earth took back her own.
Forty years of freedom in exile followed.
