Poem

INSIDE THE OUTSIDE

Inside the outside                    of everything
Colors conform                         to retreat
I seek not what is lost                or  gained
I only seek the truth                  or fiction
Inside the Outside                    of all
I stumble against the wall        of remorse
And in the distance of morning   or nightide
I see the truth as gospel             or not
Colors bleed into morning         or night
Like the dharma of dawn            reborn
I see the raven flying                  or hanging
On a rope-ladder to the moon   and back
I am dead but hopeful of life
In all the usual places                    or not
I am dead and only now
glimpse the truth
