NEW MOON IN ARIES 2010

alive in the moment

then living on in fading time

blessings before mirrors and doubles

and on souls whispering to us in dreams

we cannot comprehend

for preservation and and support from

pale ghosts retreating

alive outside the moment

*

the buildings the street the crowds

all seem to be looking toward the sun

the blaze of ordinary day drawing to it

substance looking toward the sun

*

cacophony of the city

a white noise shattering thought

pure attention of nerve

*

turmoil of travail

redundancy of pain

*

emotions

tactile

as

granite

*

a frame of reference

refers only to itself

unconditional laughter

*

my trance got in the way of my illumination

*

open here

slip through

unseen

wind up where you are

*

vanity of perfection

it already is

*

I interfere

I am set in my place

I squirm

I am set in my place

I howl

I am set in my place

I recite rosaries

I am set in my place

I demand retractions

I am set in my place

I weary on one last throw

I am set in my place

I am (not quite) speechless

I am set in my place

I go good

I am set in my place

I go bad

I am set in my place

I give in

I am set in my place

I grow quiet

I am set in my place

I breathe deep

I am set in my place

I move forward again

I am set in my place

I am set in my place

yes I am
