If I took all those moments and ran them as a reel
– a film rather a dance – what would they amount to
in grams on ethereal scales how much would they weigh?

I’ve quieted
my inner voice
by holding its head
underwater
an imaginary pond
there in the darkness
immersed until the bubbles
stop
till bright sun fills
the void to dry
up all the water
evaporates
leaves
no trace
behind
no evidence of voice simply
silence
only
now

Timeless being first
Then every man and woman
Here is God’s reserve

Faces come unglued and leave
behind light and vibration.

Newborns are certain
though you’ll never hear them say
heaven imparts love
Life’s best without words
mere symbols get in the way
poets be forewarned
Name it to lose it
stepped aside by one degree
objects lose their shape
Conform to design
preconceived notions thwart us
maya at the turn
Like distant cousins
what once was plain as the day
lost in the shuffle
