beautiful
is
drifting in the
nameless waters
between
unsleep and sleep

* *

freedom comes
not from being
a fugitive — never
mind an adversary;

taking into
soft intimacy
your quiet and strong tormentor
delivers the key

* *

happiness is
falling
silently
into this

myself
non-self
unself
now

* *

still,
is a dust mote

watching
listening
serene

in the eye
of twisting
leaves

* *

meaning is
a looking mind

the (post-)
probing

into life
under-understood
