2017, 5*, Bodhisattvacaryavatara, body, camouflage, emptiness, grey, ground, legs, profile, quiet, rooftops, sky, space, spider, study, telephone lines, vertical, windows, world
glancing up from the text
searching for ground ah,
look at you and your little
fat body standing side-on
and vertical to the world
with six legs pointy into
space quite despite the two
slightly divergent phone lines
stretching quietly above
the rooflines and before the
wide grey sky in which is
camouflaged … everything
chapter 9 of the Bodhisattvacharyavatara is both a simple and necessarily complicated teaching about the nature of reality: the simple bit is understanding that nothing exists as it appears; the complicated bits are what to do with this understanding at every turn of attention

quiet wormhole: oh, alright then
rooftops wormhole: cool / tiled flooring
sky wormhole: sreet
space wormhole: sharpened apex
study wormhole: two profiles
windows wormhole: ash leaves
