Liberation.


An acquired posture—
calm, seeking inner truths.
Moment
by moment
reality crawled, spreading,
while he coiled everything
in one point.
The one point
in one moment
blasted, scattered;
spreading, winged bats of dark corners.
They stared, red eyed, sharp nailed;
unfettered , they gnawed his existence.
Bloated wishes, dreams spilled,
mercurial passions and
mid April sky,
he struggles midst Nirvana and Bhoga— distilling.

  11. Ah! How thin the veneer. He needs more practice at the calm center, and if there is anything left after they gnaw his existencee, he could practice. Beautifully rich images.

  12. I love this: "They stared, red eyed, sharp nailed;
    unfettered , they gnawed" (you have an extra space before the comma)

    And the last line.
