Attention

some time
 after our birth
our attention engages
in all of life's tracings..
we come to believe that
our experience is well
founded on 
discrimination..

then stealthily 
this healthy growth
seems accompanied by
a question of suffering
nagging and lagging 
alongside..

something cries out
for new birth..in which
attention is swallowed
by a new identity
to which
our suffering has
always pointed...

Twilight

Flashlamp tracings trap and dazzle,
dancing in the twilight. Children scatter
through the meadow, flip-flops flapping,
eager beavers chasing dreams.

Fast the flow, the stream blinks
back a hint of moonlight,
and the torches' criss cross patterns
splatter 'til the beams converge.

Nets are plied, and mason jars
are dunked beneath the rippling surface, 
small fish wriggle in confinement,
kids' excitement and delight.

Safe and snug, imaginations 
settle as they say goodnight.
