Monk-Kn(om)

Down the rabbit hole, the Abbot stole away
Arias starry and branches of olives
I’ll live thousands of years in solitude
If only to call it to attention
So that it might reveal intention
Release tension
Dispensed, not in rivers, but in drops
Forever delivered, it never stops
Props to the beauty of your voice
Choice poised poinsettia in color and noise
Cloistered in clusters
Moisture in mustard seed faith
Boisterous up thrustward mountains, valleys and lakes
8 folds in my path
So I fold time, space and math
Vitruvian viscera graces multiple places
Faces traces of patients, patience
And makeshift vacuums made faceless
By want, gracious
Replaces the vacant once salacious, fallacious, rapacious desires
With lattice laced with flowery shapes
Erased in taste for the fire
That was once displaced
Scrolls for understanding roles and how the cycle spins
Arms spoke by cycles, spiral in a file of the djinn
Bottled, lamping in ample temptation not taken
The bait dangled in and on the hook

I decline to acquiesce to all request
My mind’s self indulgence repressed
Tis best to reciprocate
Give don’t take
Except advice
Veracity is the capacity to understand sagacity only comes from passively speaking while listening actively
Map it, see with apathy, but never adapt it without tactic
Telepathically is merely acting empathically
Acting…Fact: it never succeeds
I’d rather be, me,
Free in a sea of conformity
Swarming boringly in a snoring tree
Of all the norms I see
Them of shrunken heads
Diminish all the grins off the finish, start and middle
Little did they know, I fiddled with the belfry
It’s next tell will make hell freeze over
New Dehli will for one second by purged of the pestilence of selfishness
And a surge of selflessness will melt in bliss
The most frozen of hearts, a cozened ohm to which no resistance would start
Artifices startled the vicious to stop desirious thoughts seditious
Artisans owed in great measure, the Earth’s most sacred treasure
Inner peace now free to all and artists, the monk parted
Back to his hermitage Mahal
