The Vagaries



"The Vagaries"

You could go all Zen over Me,
I’d listen studiously, then, spit it out 
like cherry seeds for integration

the flesh of it all,
"The Past", savoured;
"The Future",

for lame time-wasting 
poetic rebels pretending
to be connoisseurs, parlaying -

"The Now", struts irreverently,
dealing its Bolchevistic
cards

and there sits You,
holding the mirror for Me,
expelling Your koans let loose

the sound of One hand clapping,
without the other, but still 
you hear it, the sound

Love, 
swimming
through the vagaries 

Integrity,
Love is
holding Her tight

vagaries

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
