Hardship
on this particular
planet of sorrows--
Building yet
another
platform
of the heavens--
ever
as it seems
here upward
*
the choice
was made
for me
to continue
in my ruin
by the stars--
since I am
in this ruin
because I
was not wise
enough to
rule the stars
*
I is someone--
not necessarily
else--
*
sorry--
didn't recognize you
without your mask
*
what the cat remembered
was what the mouse forgot
*
If you could figure out
your destiny--
your destiny would
no longer be--
*
This was to be
the last mistake
of a previous series
instead of
the first
of a new one--
*
what we think
we know
takes a lifetime
(or more) to be
disabused---

SAYINGS OF HEAVEN
A lifetime's sins require a lifetime's penance--
*
The content of our days are our soul's substance--
*
Sayings of heaven have no hearing on earth--
*
Knowledge unused is sin--flowing from the Dragon's Tail---no protection or forgiveness--no mercy--until every whit or neglect is paid--
*
The meek give strength to the mighty--so beware the weakness of the strong--
*
Who would block the way will be blocked--and who leads astray will be led astray--
*
What we do is uniquely our own--what is done to others belongs to each of us--
*
It took a lifetime to think of nothing--and an instant to forget everything--
*
Only in forgetting ourselves--are we most who we are--
*
In pleasure we forget pain--in pain we forget pleasure--when the heart can forget these distinctions the mind will remember its undivided source---
