every notion
and prayer
above us
below us
like sky
into water
reeds into
air
on my knees
i can see
how earth
sky meet

how many stars are in me?
how many stars are in me?
one million? a hundred million? a million million?
and i am unhappy about what someone said
or i choose to be pained by this day

i'm a jigsaw puzzle / atoms from that star
i'm a jigsaw puzzle
atoms from that star
dust from another
pinch of that quasar
a handful of 1,000 others
god remembers all of them
plus remembers the beings
flora and fauna that basked
in those stars' light
each one every one
i'm built from minute
portions of all best hopes
dreams visions joys
desires that span great
gulfs of time be in me
and in you why we love
eye continues to delight
in new light breath
beneath a sky that seems
inexhaustible as beautiful
as it was before
and will always be
there's nothing common
to anything seen
to anything felt
to anything heard
or anything sacrificed
anything gained
nothing can be lost
everything starts again
each day contains
kaleidoscopes of
every noble urge
ready to be cherished

i was thinking about you the other day
i was thinking about you the other day
how i thought i knew you and appreciated you
but i see that i was just assuming everything
because i miss you so much
your memory is tiny and excruciatingly bright
getting smaller and smaller every time i try
to make it big like a cathedral or a stupa
because i miss you so much
you would forbid me to go on with this
you'd laugh and say 'go make new friends' or 'keep having life'
it is what i would say to you if the roles were reverse
because i miss you so much
&&&

there is nothing like what i do
there is nothing like what i do
if i perform in a way intended
beyond any action or thought
like we admire light in the sky on clouds
or a bright lone star you cannot touch
