you are your own

how inadequate reality is

conditions to predict

haunted by how loudly

this substantial existence

beyond the bounds of observation

made to hold

new places to pulse

to pray elsewhere

despite the gift of gravity

to be no one and anyone

the idea of being

the most serious effect

if the remainder could

there is nothing as near

the doorway into silence

as repeating as a prayer

were one asked

the knowing heart

subject to less

challenges to awaken
