Kailash
on first approach
sight

a palpable
sonic boom
passed through
the entirety
of my being

echoing on
still
in the emptiness
of my heart

dakinis dance now
playfully
on the corpse
of all that i thought
i was

light emanating
from the pulpy remains
of a narrative
that truly never
knew
a
root

returning to the
source
of that and every
dream

where
self aware
that light
issues forth
as an offering
of sustenance
to all

who might encounter
emaho!!

wonderful
to be
as we are
light lapping
waves
of manorasovar

a chill to the bone
of a dawning
compassion
that shall know
no end
