Pause Silence A space widens And into it we shift Him and I Separated on hardwood floor By teapot, bowls Tongues, hot and moist From ancient nectar Hold magic before It slips into the void Eyes fall shut Then - expansion Strands reach out towards boundlessness Being becomes scattered Dissolves into fearless bliss This is No Mind Zone Hovering, wordless peace Here, matters not be it the Rising mist from this bowl in hands Or from the morning dew In this primeval valley I squint at the rising sun piercing over Peaks which have not known human steps I fly above these wise trees And descend into piercings of soil, rock, roots Expansion, ever Expansion Inside this infinite expanse of flesh No longer a barrier but connector My body cavernous, empty Warmth spreads, again disappears Into all things For a long moment Outside and in merge Nothing In the distant mind, now a faint panic Senses refocus on a sound Closer Fabric sliding on fabric Opposite, he shifts position And sets bowl to ground A gentle thud Eyes open and a gaze Lost and dazed Set upon their mirrored reflection Such beauty: No difference Between that which sees and That which is seen Tender sigh Why can't this last? The mind returns, valleys pull back Bird retreats, roots recoil to far distance Yet the noise is softer Gentler Than before Softened By the smile I see In my reflection before me
