WHY MEDITATION DOESN'T WORK FOR ME

WHY MEDITATION DOESN’T WORK FOR ME


While trying to discover
the realities and facets
of my spacious present,
I become camouflaged
in real physical time,
where senses become
distorted and where
all experience comes
from second-hand energy
and ordinary circumstances.


I am trying hard to stay
within my bony skull –
in order to travel outside
my plane of existence, but…


Can I help it if I am
obsessed with the theory
of beginning and end -
and that I conceive time
to be a series of moments?


OOOOOOOOMMMM…

BEYOND THE VEIL

BEYOND THE VEIL


you mark your days
with rented doorways
and the heavy body
that ticks the hours
swinging on a cord –


this life…
extraordinary sorrow
and more –
a long and reluctant
letting go
