I found a crown…

...of gogyohka
in my pocket
better than finding
half-chewed gum

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




i awoke in the night 
thinking of words 
and a particular quatrain 
and somehow feeling
that it needed icing


the only wave
that I can catch
is the one 
that is nothing 
but my phenomenal self


i find a different face 
at every direction
while i sit 
at the center 
smearing into pink


be your own nothing
your own emptiness
find the comforting womb 
of void
where you were born


i walk the line 
between real effort
and over-wrought irreality
between profound honesty 
and whoring profundity
