a crack of lightning
in the dark of night
the world casts eyes
downwards bullied
by the dirty phantoms
of obligèd choice with
pillars and porticos
deep and high across
the silent sky like an
end of age crepuscule
gathering ténèbres,
all while the mind revolves,
empty to the universe about,
empty at the centre of
the mighty axle of
uncaused leave to turn,
when through the merest
gesture of pouvoir, an
imperturbable shift of
posture, a disclosure, is
opened and cracks
across the sky – the
phantoms cannot dully
sustain their buoyant
suspension – they arc
and connect in frantic
pattern showing
everything like bellies
of incestual shame and
mouths too small to think
to talk; “no more” they
wail, leaning into their
true nature like shallow
waves on a long beach
from Bodhisattvacharyavatara by Acharya Shantideva, chapter one, verse five
