109: What were you doing/before this moment?...

DateTuesday, November 16, 2010 at 4:17AM

What were you doing

before this moment?

 

I was looking at a woman

  was looking at the moon

there are the oldest poems

still taking over my life

 

a story is being told

in these vibrations of language:

          Don’t Listen

Let us suspend our words

          suspend out descriptions

 

These words are dead

This poem is dead

           its heart is still beating

 

Be alert to the actual happening

 

this moment

is what you were always

looking for
