Inside this body of dust
is a subtler body
made of breath.
Inside this body of breath
is a subtler body
made of starlight.
You get dizzy
with hosts of stars
swirling through the wild
expanding silence
of your heart,
the same stars that
glitter above you!
But this vertigo subsides
when you fall
even deeper inside
and come to rest
in a body beyond the stars,
thick and sweet
as honey.
Few have tasted
this body of darkness,
this body of love.
But some of us have no choice.
Friend, you are the darkness
sheathed in starlight
sheathed in breath
sheathed in a body
of dust.
