from BARDO

The stars are in our belly; the Milky Way our umbilicus.

Is it a consolation that the stuff of which we’re made

is star-stuff too?


– That wherever you go you can never fully disappear –

dispersal only: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen.


Tree, rain, coal, glow-worm, horse, gnat, rock.

woodpecker mind




under the trees
frost-trees

another blue day to receive this 'I'

and dissolve it


*

woodpecker's drumming fills the whole valley

the way our minds too probe 'what is'

until the universe is riddled with holes

  1. That is so beautiful, it makes me think of a big swiss cheese and of course The Moon.
