Within
the God of helplessness,
every
victim's disease dresses in shame.
Every
victim's blame sickens to mud.
Self-indulgence
dines on numbness from craving.
I
am a servant of separation's incomplete me.
Experience seals my spirit,
confines
inexpressible rage.
No
one I turn to,
no
one I turn away.
I
am mesmerized by what is said with violent ways.
I
am fumbling for a language of forgivingness.
Each
act is a blind outcry.
I
have been offered violence
as
left-handed compliments to me,
struck
hard as flattery,
violated
as unconscious praise,
even
killed as a personal honor coming my way.
I
feel torture prodding me up compassion's mountain.
I
am forced to face then expand
beyond
debasement's reach,
to
see light ignited into dark deeds
that
are saving no one.
Humbly
I claim last place in the enlightenment line.
I
patiently wait for others to divinely self-ignite.
Desperate misery sparks
harmony songs among us.
With nothing to shape,
no
place to be,
no
time to have been,
all
the world's dirty wash is clamoring here.
It
is piled everywhere as sight provides its own destiny.
Everyone's
vile dress bleeds along my savage blade,
cutting me into irrational sections,
leaving
me much the bloodstain same way.
Touching
me with the caress of their death,
embracing
me with the crush of their body,
thrilling
me with this flood of new agony,
I
gladly give it up to get it out of me.
There
I am with festering joy lucidly fondling pain,
besieged by the power of
everything hostile,
dissolved
from meaning with nothing to bare.
Surrender invites my unconscious
to
step out of my dark shadow's closet
yet
I am here for what wardrobe remains.
I
wash in the river all that is left of me
then
wash away with all that is gone.
I
pray to the God of helplessness
for
nothing from you to set me free.
I
am filled with life emptied through living.
I
am able to die over and again in that compliment.
These violent riddles are as
a seizure of my heart,
yet
no death is senseless.
Every
human act reaches for the light.
Love
has no stored residence.
Mine
is the ploy of undying participation.
Every
actout comes through the heart undefined.
For
my spirit as well as yours,
is
never the captive of this matter . . .
