Ancient Hieroglyphics
The dharma of the West differs from that of the East…. The normal, healthy Westerner has no desire to escape from life, his urge is to conquer it and reduce it to order and harmony.

To Sri Lanka the girl’s eyelids
could not rotate fast enough
could not
because the fingers were rooted, they were invicted
therefore we see a mandala
therefore a tree cannot become a mandala
but what can a tree become?
(she had to hit rock-bottom, to cross logic–it was a threshold)
but what about those eyelids?
what they regarded when they were invicted
the fingers kept a firm grip on
the oar pretty much beyond taking
as the blooms were, by religion
as trying was, by belief–
painkiller, prayer-beads, traffic, language, helicopter
not like anyone else
