The Spiritual Sound

I pray that I may see clearly Things as they are Not as I want them to be Mountains are mountains Just as they are Not as I want them to be My eyes are burning My tongue is burning My nose is burning My ears are burning My body is burning My mouth is burning Death is the ultimate fucker Death is the ultimate Now I know who's in my garden Now I know what form it takes Gone but never quite forgotten I have found a resting place I believe There is no separation Every moment is like arrows that meet in mid-air But sometimes I feel like my head is on fire Behold it burning Listen Buddha said, "Everything is burning All of the senses, the mountains and the fire" This is it The fire sermon My eyes are burning My mouth is burning My nose is burning My ears are burning My body is burning My mouth is burning Death is the ultimate fucker Death is the ultimate Now I know who's in my garden Now I know what form it takes Gone but never quite forgotten I have found a resting place

My dog's haunting rabbits in the yard Casey's at home, watching TV I step in, do what I can He doesn't care, just wants to watch them Flee, say no, the word's despair He gathers, folds, takes a leak Dim light depresses, dusts the top And sits with April as she unfolds her knees Sibylle calls, like no one's home Her mouth tears open, sigh, breathe And there, I saw a lonely doe Suz wakes up, gets dressed and leaves It looks like hunger, this tableau Birds dеscending on piles of feet In living rooms, they'rе born again to Men like ghosts, attached to teeth The words sting In passing More or less What's left to find for You anymore What's left to find that You don’t see What's left to find for You anymore What's left to find that You don’t see I'd give Truth to your life When I could, I'd try To speak you clearly I paled against so many Denials every day "I wanna die," you took your life As if what's broken laid inside I couldn't help it, I tried So what? "So what If wood learns she's made a violin?" Where trust and love fail Fear makes a map, you followed it

Now I'm facing it At Carol's apartment My ass flat upon the frame Mind doing something Waiting, looking, spitting Image, cars and heat Casey got beat While out with Tessa I heard days later When we reconvened And Suz was followed That same week And Casey and Tessa Still can't sleep Hammer and screw Some guy yells "faggot" He drives off gnawing Flexing his cheeks Still can't sleep Try to move what's left of me Try to move what's left of me Try to move Try to move What's left to follow Try to move what's left of me What's left to follow Suz left thе tool shop Before she finishеd And called my phone Once she was relieved

I have found a love so sublime That nothing else could take its place I have found a world in mine And nothing could take it away My God is enduring This world every day I've been born of many fathers And I'll be born again, again I've been born of many fathers And I'll be born again, again I've been born of many fathers And I'll be born again, again I've been born of many fathers And I'll be born again, again

Oh my love When you are born And you take shape and color And your form arises as if from nothing May you see that even right now So many years before you You can be found And I love you Just as empty skies are filled with light Every moment touches all of time So I tell you I love you right now And this is right now So I have always loved you And I will always love you Just as brightest day becomes the night Every moment touches all of time So I tell you I love you right now And this is right now So I have always loved you And I will always love you

You look like you're dying What do you need? Lift out from the clutter fuck Sitting under ten grams of weed Feels like you're gonna hurt forever What do you need? Huike is at the bottom of the mountain with his head on fire Seeking the great master to pacify his mind Bodhidharma, the great see-er who cut off his eyelids And stared at a wall for nine whole years Ten thousand little leaves Ten thousand trees Each filament known by light Earth, sap, and seed Each drop of rain in fall Each beast and breed Ten thousand little leaves Ten thousand trees Huike is at the mouth of the cavе now Holding his flaming head in his hands And crying out: "Bodhidharma, I'm freezing to death" "But you just stare at thе wall and say nothing" "And nothing, and nothing and nothing and nothing at all" "How can I show great faith in the wisdom of the Dharma" "And doubt in the self?" "I cut off my arm"

Hallelujah How do you call out to God? If you say that the great words Are the moon on the water? Bodhidharma My head is on fire My head is on fire Should I cut off my eyelids And stare at the stone wall? Could you pacify my mind for me?

Here I am I can see my breath at the edge of the ocean Where scattered debris Is cast about in crazy circles By the water And I look up at the sky Towards the point where sky encounters the water And I reflect On the early spring in Europe in 1914 At the very height Of the world they built They destroyed it For no reason I am fucking freezing And the water looks cold, but I wanna try swimming And go out beyond wherе I can stand And float around in ceaseless motion Of wavеs Sometimes I'm lifted and sometimes they crash down on me I'm totally out of control With a mouth full of water
