To notice how light and chaff are blown
together, how wheat turned bad
& another summer died
- no longer are there
horizons to keep moving forward
with years taken off each life

& expanse of the rich only
mirror to your lack of air miles
this lesson is treading the waters
of confusion & malfeasance
learning how to swim

capillaries of each moment
won’t carry blood like they did
each life at standstill
instructions to go within

largely unheeded — no-one besides a
few monks and New Agers have
heard anything like it
- reversal as railway crossing
move forward at your peril

go back and you haven’t got a clue -
‘to die before you die’
is not what you think
