The Syllable Ah Moon

A circle, a turtle

A sea, a moon

A field of fire

A friend demented

Here goes there

Find a singular

Name an unconnected

Identify unchanging

Sit in that shape

Your borrowed mind

Hallucination, mirage

Rainbow hovering dream

In a cave, look out

Summer petals browned

Wind from the east

Whitecaps, a far point

A square, a spiral

A place, awareness

Awake, alive

For now
