Meditation for Beginners

Considering another sunrise.

It is something, isn’t it, to reach the end of a day and count the moments that one’s life is spared, and perhaps something else to start the day with such a list, considering all the excellent reasons there were, after all, for not having anything to begin, ever again.

Reach

Calling back.

Look far into the desert, they told us. What do you see?

Nothing, we answered. Good, they said. That is your reflection.

We lifted arms at sunrise, like Don’t shoot! like a toddler’s Up!

each body a V like flocked birds, flying back to earth.

Mind like a river, draw me to your bed.

Still this here.
