the grass hut

thank you
tree frogs
yin yang noise
for my grass
hut

god is
the foundation of empire
while mind is
the foundation of dreaming
god

doublespeak
is what
the empire
hears
as truth

truth is
destitute
and homeless
in the speech of
doublespeak

truth is
seeing there appears
to be two
as the world believes
in one

the act of knowing
yourself
there’s the john of revelation
mona lisa now
apocalypse

when the movie
leaves the screen
to walk within your world
it’s basically
over

my generation
the first generation
to see illusion
from behind
because wizardry of tv

the closer you
get to the end
the more I see
there’s no
beginning

we die
when the slow clock of intent
meets the fast clock of transformation
someplace other than
now

listen to the tree frogs
alternating stars and zeroes
ever since the big one
it’s either something
or the other

the difference
between freud and jung
is yin and yang
young
old

i will go
further
as long as i feel
like going
further

honestly
speak your truth
as if it frees
you
or kills you

all these words
aren’t the
eye
of the
hurricane
  
the grass hut
is
one
seen
through

noumenal reflections

neither
rhododendron
mountain laurel
nor azalea

neither summer
leaves
nor winter
snows

neither yin
nor yang
but nameless
tao

there's nothing
personal
in this
process

as you
see it
and
misunderstand

let's say
the noumenal
unknown
spontaneously

knows
the noumenon
and such a knowing is
phenomenal

We Are Kurosawa


On Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood

false ones that usurp
that great immortal god
the noumenal unknown
will now be overthrown
by their own phenomenal truth


On Kurosawa’s Great Humanity

Kurosawa is a singular visionary
but not a nondual one—
his deconstructive sun
blinded focusing his eye
on rubble of imperial delusion


Atomic Dreams

imagine being one
coming of age
in a land
devastated
by two

know
there is no one
nor other but
that noumenal unknown
i am

Leaving the Remains

Approaching summer solstice,
there's a flower to be faced.

The act of getting to the edge
is not for living on the edge.

Something isn't deconstructed
just to live within its rubble.

Seeing through the false
is not the seeing in itself.

The truth is not extreme,
nor desolate, nor cynical.

Breathe in that fragrance
of a spaciousness beyond

all narrative of space.

The Beautiful Equation

what appears
to be a universe
to you
is just the process of
the absolute's intent to know myself

it's like intent
to see myself
creates a mirror
most appropriate for that doing
you see it's complicated

after the lilac are the leaves
an osprey in the sky above the river
rhododendrons in their final purple burst
a bend in the creek
yellow buttercups appearing in the grass

the mind sees beauty
as this complicated object
to explain
it's not
really

me
you
love
one
I

Sha Ma Na Na

in the world
following awareness
unbelievably
may be a crime
try to make you do time

to avoid doing time
start thinking of
me as
I
love

big pharma is
especially afraid
ah-oooooh
werewolves of
consciousness

the likes of Shakespeare
doesn't write a play
as much as play
is writing
Shakespeare

more like
Shakespeare
is forming
ten-thousand
monkeys

Shakespeare
deconstructive
Basho blank verse some expansive haiku
silencing
the awful noise of holy empire

to bee
or not to be
there never is
a question of the honey
no

the June sun
is shining
through a seeming gap
in the leaves like
Stonehenge

no matter
how you want to slice it
there's no way
you're doing
straight time

summer is
breathtakingly incomplete
without
the appearance of
fireflies

Holding Hands in a Light Blue Thunderbird

From the road approaching Grand Canyon there appears to be a sudden gap in earth and nothing there but open sky.

It's true for people too. Asking who I am, if asked in earnestness, and not relying on another for an answer,

will approach an open space unoccupied by thought, belief, or all conditioning of any form,

resulting as awareness in one's free and open being, as if this universe of space and time was driving

toward this edge from its beginning. Now, the revelation has arrived. The Great Unknowing only knows itself within another.

across the river

river at low slack tide 
strong east wind at my face 
downriver an eagle maybe a seagull 
no. 
buddha nature 

now 
is the month 
of our summer solstice 
made glorious 
green in a synthesis of sun 

across the river
is a wilderness
of eastern white pine
reflecting
across the river

in the smoke
of coming summer
everything is
consciousness
appearing higher

you can lead
imagination
to water
but it won't drink
the inspiration

life
is
a dream
you play
by heart

only
the heart knows
one
divided by
zero

zero shines
at the speed of light
some belief
shadows it
no way

the way
appears to be
bi-polar
but it's only
reflective

across
the river
there is
no
river

On 'The Wizard of Oz' / A Dream Review

the tin man 
like the truly 
empty one 
he is 
follows his heart 

the scarecrow 
stuffed 
with so much thought 
is being 
mindful 

the lion
is in the act of using
its own thoughts
to deconstruct
belief in fear

dorothy
now knows
oz is but a dream
reawakening one to
home

the heart writes the play
and the mind makes it
mythic
so as to see all the action as
the story of one

follow the heart
be mindful
and don't believe
for you are always home
the absolute I of one

Adult Film

the meaning of the dream 
is knowing it's 
a dream 
or otherwise 
the dream continues on 

without a meaning—
this simple knowing
is awaking
one
as pure awareness

in an insubstantial
unafraid and
undivided
unadulterated
bliss
