Iso-mandala no. 162 (October 2020)

 

good morning

gold array breaking sky from land

at no extra cost

bright enough to blind

glow enough to warmly bind us

as the once invisible emerald

rises in the light of day rising

breathing priceless air

unnumbered foliations

beaming fluttering

 

good afternoon

seasides of lapis lazuli

casually lapping coolly lacing

then surging with rarest force

swamping the senses

likewise I’m sure the rocks

combustion unlocked

in a ticktock blink

so hard to take

so easy to take in all at once

an invaluable sight

 

good evening

good heavening

worn out pearls of wisdom

clouds streetlights windows

in superabundance

no one may put in a box

or think about twice most oft

 

good night

insistent stars

self-scattering jewel boxes

broached with arrogant names

us claiming a small part of them

a trice in a millennium

and as for good white silvery moon

good night up there

sensational moonstone

steady as she goes
