The Unknowable Origin of Voice

Pen scribbles incantation 
As the writing reveals itself suddenly
Reveling thought unburdens its borrowed code
Bodies dance to release their outpouring presence

Humanly, we wait
A readership to hawk the landscape
And trot out footsteps in koans

As in dreams, I drift
Authorial indeterminate 
Nouns now shown as shackles-
Verbs take the crown
Unmistakably like Buddhist paradigm
All wood chopping simply no chopper

The self of no-self
Natures's embodiment
Writing embraces All
Soul at the beginning of whirpool
