Notes About The Poem
From my "Old Meditator" series.
 
Reflecting from the Now on the Then...
 
A Taoist possibly lamenting Buddhism

Neural Crest

A shaft of light, this spine.
Bounded by bones,
draped in rottables.
Pathway of consumables,
the lone remarkable.

Still, I hold straight
the light.
Still, I insist on
this dent
this where
this place
on my cushion.

At start, spine
straight.
Incense stick
straight.

By now, spine
straight.
Incense:
tendril & ash.
