dialogue with effort

who am i without effort?
where do i hold on to,
when every step = 0?
who do i become?
when this is only a collection of nows?
where do i attach, 
when there is no horizontal plane?
who am i,
 when i accept this vertical body?
simply transmitting, heaven on earth.
past and future, only existing now. 
effortless existence.
as if nothing happened, as if nothing will happen.
alertness + effort, not to be confused.
within alertness hides a door,
to effortless space.
where life flows,
through spine.
like sunlight,
informing tree.
who stands upright.
weaving with the cosmic honey,
spreading out into all it is meant to be.
i am,
without effort. 

golden forest eye

Michaël Zancan
guardian of the stillness
from here comes full expression
here lives the enchanted embrace

jungle goddess, forest being
i am
a movement within the stillness

every sensation
held in this spacious fire
of this heart
of this breath
of this spine
double headed snake

dancing between
heaven and earth
stars and moss
light and dark

woven, in balance
a blanket
of all colors

resting, coating
this body and the body
we all share.

far away meeting

La Hija de Rappaccini, Santiago Caruso
how can i say
the point of honesty
extending from your heart
into mine

how can i say
the bliss 
in realizing
we both don't know

how can i say
the further i go
the clearer
i become

how can i say
the softest touch of intention
moves the mountains
in me

how can i say
love is beyond us
within us
through us
between berlin and munich, germany // july 2020

heat under the ocean

the unfinished surface
of your hardwood floors
rough and soft, a mirror to my feet
your crooked teeth and warm lips 
a mirror for my fingers
to dip into

 

dipping into you, hot and wet
i melt so easily
your flame takes my oxygen
takes me to melt and drip
in your warmth 
golden soft tender
flickering

will you go out?
