I find
you find your bones
on the outbreath
when the lift
and possible float are relinquished
and the spine can straighten
and resume its work
C
then
you can let open the windows
– let all the spirits escape –
and cast eye ear and notice
over the rooftops with waving trees under the grey sky between bird-flit
before and
during the
next breath

being wormhole: the Buddha head in an antique shop
birds wormhole: the en-gentled / end of a wan / writing retreat
breathing & C wormhole: in the middle of silence and heat:
grey wormhole: the declensions of constant possibility throughout times
openness & windows wormhole: 1963
rooftops wormhole: sounds // suddenly / stop
sky wormhole: ‘“ruddy crows!” / said my Dad …’
trees wormhole: a splash of fresh water
wind wormhole: tag cloud poem V – draft-ness
There is a flutter in my chest at the thought of this….fleeting…

yogis in Tibet used to cultivate that flutter in the chest and attain the siddhi of fast-walking (lung-gom)

as ever, slow
walking, and
returning as
all ways lead

Funny, but this is still on my clipboard, from sharing on a post only moments ago, on mywordpool:
“Colors blind the eye
Sounds deafen the ear.
Flavors numb the taste.
Thoughts weaken the mind.
Desires wither the heart.”
