You
Can
Listen
To moonlight
On cold autumn night –
Whisper secrets of silver wind,
Ripple silken silence into the ocean within.

Watch
Him
Closely –
Not the way
He tames the griffon,
Not his escape from bold mermaids –
Observe his pain, see him dwell in light that does not fail.

Please
Speak
To me.
The silence
Of God unfolds us.
Speak to me firmly from the source –
The star flowering within you is also in me.

Do
Be
Careful
With those thoughts.
Teach them not to drift,
Not to hang around with trouble.

Hush the mind! Let it weep with wonder, boogie in bliss.

No
Space
Exists
Between us,
Between breath and sound.
The universe governs by touch.
Wherever the sea persists, your wave will meet my shore.

In
Dry
Season
The tree grips
Earth for precious life,
Blooms incredibly to dear life.
It seeds and yields, confident the rain will remember.

Leaves
Blaze
Fiercely
In autumn.
Scorching the logic
Of those who secure peace by war,
Those who insist on ruling by rust that never sleeps.

The
Earth
Reminds
The body:
Be mindful and whole –
You are the bird of paradise
What makes us indivisible drives us beautiful.

For
Years
He searched
For the Grail.
Tired but still restless
He found comfort in deep silence,
A wounded brightness gently turned water into wine.

With
The
Children
All grown up,
The man and woman
Agreed to fall in love again.
They eloped and learned to be luminous in silence.

Sonnet 0, Solving for X
mmmmmOnce the conventionality of realities is understood…
mmmmmthe bodhisattva is liberated from the naïve realism
mmmmmthat traps him in misknowledge. He becomes free to
mmmmmreconstruct an extraordinary reality of enlightenment.
mmmmmmmmmm—R. Thurman, Mandala: The Architecture of Enlightenment
The equation begins with nothing
& returns to nothing. In the void
We mark our presence as though
In this mandala of time the ineffable
Can be parsed in pure syllables.
It may be an error to propose
Music and Poetry the only way
To bring differentials to some
Concordance. We are solitudes
In the radiance of &. We are whirling
& spinning, dervishes in the dark,
Come into being-with, without. Do not
Falter. See the blue god and his beloved.
Us, the lightning thunderbolt’s laughter.
Cirilo F. Bautista
A Man Falls to His Death
1mmBlood is nothing. Space is all. Is.
2mmA simple diagram illustrates this:
3mnwhere A is the tenth floor of steel and glass (He was on
4mnthe noon shift forging the dream to a reality fine men
5mncould slumber in, or whores, in antechamber, touch their bone)
4mnthe noon shift forging the dream to a reality fine men
5mncould slumber in, or whores, in antechamber, touch their bone)
6mnand B the level of earth (Above the clogged engine
7mna shadow traced the lines on his foot, while shoot
8mnhis brain with firelights the money did). Put
9mndown an imaginary circle around the vertical.
10mCompute the square of guilt against an integral
11nnhis age built when he was young: wrong,
12nnaxiomatic: the sum stands thus: Along
12nnaxiomatic: the sum stands thus: Along
13nnthe cureve X (none noticed the leap; what they saw
14nnwas the red imprint) by which we know
15nnthe nothing particular, the momentum
16nncarried him to the point beyond the dictum—
17nnHic primus geometrus—for a body physical, a
18nnmass, emits energy equal to zero, the stay
19nnnecessary to arrive at a base, as in Berger’s
20nnformula for optics. Here we remember
21nnthe fallacy of inclusive force if we extend
22nnA to the absolute (He was, a day ago, threatened
23nnwith dismissal for displeasing a superior)
24nnand call it the Cause: heat, hunger, air—
25nnthese were just contingent. To recapitulate:
26nnBerger’ law does not apply here, as the late
27nnprojections of X show, space being non-mathematic;
28nnfrom A to B the descent exhibits a quick
29nnincrease in force, though the exact ellipsis we know not.
30nn(The Blank and Blank Co., Inc., regrets to announce that...)
