Before and After Silence
hurry : work
the day is yelling
hurry! hurry! you're too late!
or is that just me?

last night i had fun
today i come back to work
i keep coming back
hurry! hurry! you're too late!
or is that just me?

today i come back to work
i keep coming back

reluctant : compassion
'blanket 6' by Zoë
reluctant, i sit
a hundred reasons not to
stubborn faith alone
sit
compassion is not
about you and i alone
only emptiness

concerned only with
my own happiness i curse
this wild crowded bus

agenda : rhythm
'dada 8' by Zoë
there is time enough
for everything apart from
my own agenda
sit
finally my mind
slows to the rythm of breath
when I hear the gong
for everything apart from
my own agenda
sit
finally my mind
slows to the rythm of breath
when I hear the gong

puzzle : onion
'christmas' by Zoë
my daughter Zoë
solves a puzzle by touching
everything she can

like an onion skin
all of space and time appears
to the perceiver

dishes : tiger
'quilt dream' by Zoë
dishes in the sink
an angry monster to fight
or a wise teacher

walking through the trees
the tiger pulls a long tail
following it back

ocean : breath
'mote' by Zoë
the new day ocean
seems to cover the horizon
only a mirage
sit
more precious than food
or water or bright jewels
this breath, this breath, ...

wet : space
'edge' by Zoë
rain on my wool coat
smelling like an english sheep
I stay dry enough
sit
in the space of mind
which is true space, only space
infinite freedom

bad breath, a sore throat
you should buy some gum today
my wife says to me

slow down the clock by magic
one breath lasts forever

anger : unravelling
'and and bee 4' by Zoë
anger in action
hot and uncomfortable
sleeping and steering
sit
my mind as it is
unravelling into space
what is there to say?
