Into land
Which swallows me
Whole
I mind
Not a bit
Becoming one
With it all
Just me
And the land
And the dance
Of the road
I mind
Not a bit
Becoming one
With it all
Just me
And the land
And the dance
Of the road
I draw a breath
Feel the cool
Know the day
Is past
With every step
With every breath
With every thought
Unconscious
Inconsequential
Commitments
I live
In a state
Of commitment
Connection
Transition
Evil subdued
Peaceful detachment
Among the desert’s
Many victims:
My haughty ego
And petty worries
Matters unworthy
Of a life
Worth living
Each a fleeting moment
Seen in the context
Of another realm
And none too clearly
What they are
Where they are
Who they are
Preconceptions projected
Upon an object
Obscuring the features
Of the object
Because somewhere
Is always a state of mind
And my mind is always somewhere
