The abyss opened wide, swallowed me whole.
Horrible to slide down the kenshō well.
Emptiness as vast and boundless as space.
Abysmal to wake up inside a whale.
Bottomless sea, invisible to sight.
Yarn stretched ball after ball, skeins of white wool.
Stupid, half-starved, hormones raging, insane.
Sitting alone at home on my futon.
Open wide said Jonah, seek the unsought.
Persistently finding only darkness.
Evanescent luminescent dankness.
Nocturnal starless lip service, put-on.
Effervescent mineral water sourced.
Divorced from the Catholic Church, milk soured.
Wide-eyed, mind blown, flickers a candle flame.
Insanity made me a young shaman.
Diminished capacity, broke the loom.
Eclipsed by the moon, to God. Amen.
Swallows pass through San Juan Capistrano.
Windows open, psyche, a butterfly.
Abject identity, hope thrown away.
Lesson learned, the fictional inferno.
Little did I know, I sat in silence.
Oblique angle, truth for a guttersnipe.
Windows closed, body bruised, the blind obey.
Eclipsed by the sun, moonlight on the water.
Divorced from time, sitting was a solace.
Meditation in solitude, I found.
Eclipsed by the eye, time inflamed, mind burned.
Whole-heartedly, accepted paradox.
Heartless as a fox, I gave up family.
Obliged to abstain within paradise.
Libertarian socialist, silly.
Eclipsed by mind, satori comes later.
