“When we give ourselves the chance to let go of all our tension, the body’s natural capacity to heal itself can begin to work.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

The Daily News
The bullshit of the week begins effortlessly
The printed word declares fear on the world
And at some point we feel the accountability
Close our eyes so we can play hunger games
While the obese stuff their muffle in protest
Dear God give me the strength to know you
Above agendas tripping all over themselves
Beyond all the seductions of his entitlements
Into the season of Your mercy and Your song
Because love is all that I seem to recognise
The rest is not for me.

To love a strong woman
Abruptly he turned away in panic
As though she had come to dethrone him
Swore never to look into her eyes again
He could not bear losing her love
But it was already too late
Love had begun.

Fear and loathing
A fat drying lizard
Rotting meat on a stone
Knotting my stomach every day
I want to walk this way
Past this brutal sight
Not to change it nor to fix it
I will never give it weight
And I will banish all superstition
That does not belong to me
Until days turn it into dust
