Walking through the wall

Walking through the wall

Dear friends

Today we’re learning how to go

Through matter

It’s time to move beyond

This belief that things in fact

Matter

They do not

Perhaps they did

I cannot say for sure

But now

the age of matter is

rest assured

dead

finished

ended

Instead of focussing your attention on the thing

on

for example

the wall you’re about to walk through

focus instead on not

what it is

focus instead on simple truth

the finities

underlying material fact

the finities upon which

the matter of wall

rests

Speak to them

establish contact

know that in truth

it is

I am

let One

and oneness

prevail

let the mirage of wall

the lucid dream of thing

being thing

dissolve

for you are master conjuror

of realities

and you can attune

to any frequency

whatsoever

including one in which

a hard

stony wall

yields to your

soft entreaties

gives safe passage

through the implacable world of

brick

mortar

rock

flint

granite

stone

all mere manifestations

of fusty thing

all subject to

the law of

                  0=1

  it is  I am

No sooner am I ready to embrace

engage

the finities of wall

by song

dance

or pure intent

than wall succumbs

to the measureless charms

of this

my poetry

reality spins on a dime

and yields

willingly

where hitherto

only brute force

held sway

and finally

I step through

the wall in my mind

discovering a world therein

concealed

a world in which

things

like runes like hieroglyphs

mask deeper truth

sweeter song

softer essence

in which things

are gently ruled

by those finities

present throughout

the binary

nature of reality

it is

I am

In which Ramone goes to hell and back

Let's turn things around, for a change: what is God not

We assume God to be limitless, and thus, somewhere in the allness of God we bump into the devil floating around mischievously. Obviously the devil isn’t God, is it? The devil is, if anything, the opposite of God. The spirit of darkness, whereas God is the source of light, and yet God is all.

For the rational mind this poses a minor difficulty, yet we can easily get around it by assuming these things are simply beyond our comprehension, one; or two, that God had to allow angels to fall in order that there be free will on Earth, so it’s all part of God’s ineffable divine plan. Two’s pretty good, isn’t it? but you could pick holes in it if you really wanted to. It all depends what you want to believe.

Now, many people have stopped believing in the devil at all, or in God for that matter. They are either atheists who believe in not-God – that God most certainly doesn’t exist, or they’re part of the higher intelligence crowd – that there’s some kind of higher consciousness out there, universal designer, or higher intelligence who is responsible for things being the way they are – but we don’t need to be too specific, and it certainly isn’t the kind of God that religions like to espouse. It’s not unlike the internet, perhaps – which doesn’t have one authority making and controlling it, but which is collaborative – millions of minds working together – accidentally or intuitively, helping it to grow and evolve.

So there are lots of possible ideas about who or what God may be, and we seem to be growing increasingly comfortable accepting a non-proprietorial God – one who is not defined or determined by any one group or organisation – be it a church, a people or state.

But I’m interested in the other side of God – what God is not, not because I’m looking for a devil. I don’t actually believe -1 is the opposite of +1. In my understanding the opposite of 1 is 0, the absence of 1; and 0, as I understand it, may seem to be a mere void or absence to us 1ers, but that merely demonstrates our failure, our inability to see the other side of things. There’s another parallel universe, or a flip side to this one, in which 0ers don’t see themselves as 0, in the same way Australians don’t see themselves as being upside down. The 0ers in their reality are in fact 1ers, but their reality is moving in contra-direction to our own. I’m assuming the two sides, the two worlds hold each other in balance somehow or other. It seems logical, does it not? So we gaily assume that we’re alone in the universe, that we’re basically in control of things, but in actual fact we’re probably part of a binary system which is deeply, fundamentally structural.

Er? What does that mean?

Good question Ramone. Er... I’ll have to think about that – sometimes I get carried away by my own eloquence, and there’s no knowing what I just said. But in all seriousness, the 0ers are 1ers on the other side of the consciousness axis. That means that, from our perspective, how they think, what they do all seems completely incomprehensible, so much so that they are absolutely invisible to us. Bear in mind that they are not separated by time or space – for these are not fundamental, merely ways of organising our reality. Time-and-space is a question of where you put the pieces on the chessboard, whereas 0ers exist in the zero of chessboard, the nought of chess pieces, the vacuum or void of space and time. Sounds a bit cold and inhospitable to us, does it not, but I assure you, they are as adapted to their reality as we are to ours, and even more bizarre, I assure you that their reality is as ours is, and they are as we are – if you could view them through the right lens or reflected in the right mirror – you would be seeing yourself – and it would probably be a reverse big bang experience – you’d probably collapse back into neither 0 nor 1ness – which is er... actually there’s no name for that state.

Oh dear – it all started so promisingly and ended, as always, in complete and utter confusion.

Look – it doesn’t have to be confusing. Let me pull my rabbit out of the hat. You’ve all had dreams, have you not? Now, before you sigh and insist that dreams are just dreams, let me tell you that the dreams are only dreams because at the moment you haven’t figured out how to factor zero into the equation. I mean, you haven’t learnt to address and work with the other side of

Of what?

Of

Go on... what?

Of... er... of Is.

Is? What on earth is Is?

It’s er... it is – but it’s not “what”. It can’t be known or defined as “something”. It’s an isness.

Oh God. Is that all you’ve got to say for yourself. I’m going back to sleep.

No, no, wait a moment.

Too late. Snoring sounds.

Ah ha – now I’ve got you – because I’ve been working with Is, the other side of God – the side that didn’t create particular things, didn’t then make a man called Adam and get him to name those things – didn’t do all that – but carried on in non-specificity, aware that God was doing his thing on our side of creation – that a whole world, a vast universe was coming into being, and yet, from the perspective of Is – all that was but a dream which we thingers, tinkers or thinkers happen to be living in. Heard that before, haven’t you? – that we’re just part of someone’s dream – and how would we know?

So, if this is true, and there’s only one way to find out – then the 0ers of Is, as opposed to the 1ers of God, are alive and well in a non-spatial, non-timey universe which just happens to intersect or be an integral part of our own – only we’re not aware of it or them, because they’re folded into the gaps between 1, between things, between bits – and we’re only ever aware of 1s, things, bits on the 3D screen of our utterly life-like reality, unless, that is, we wise up to their existence and start to engage them noughtfully.

Snoring like a baby – but now it’s time for me to call on my beautiful gnomiki. I may not be good at all the shamanic stuff like lucid dreaming, astral projectioning, and altered states of consciousness, but I am pretty good at connecting with gnomiki – which are not, in fact, gnomes or dwarfs in the traditional sense – more like “fairies”, “spirits” or emissaries of 0/is.

Now, my friends in the scientific community know all about quantum effects such as entanglement which are supposed to only happen at the sub atomic level – but in the Kermit the frog hermetic tradition we work on the basis of scaleability – “as above so below” – so things that can happen at a sub-atomic level can also be observed in some similar fashion occurring at the macro level – whether our human scale, or on the planetary or galactic plains. It’s really very convenient – so now that Ramone is dreaming like a baby, I can invite the gnomiki to engage him from the other side. This should be fun.

Bear in mind that when a person is sleeping – he, she no longer differentiates between the two sides of 0 and 1. In the past shamans used this to great effect – they were able to communicate with one another through dreams – having skype meetings at any distance. They could even travel unimaginable distances by waking in another place – which is possible if you’ve kept your attachment point to 3D reality clean as a whistle. If, however, you’ve allowed it to grow heavy with emotional or material concerns, then waking in another place could and probably would kill you – which is why we seem to have lost the ability. It’s just we have a system administrator inside who ensures that we don’t go beyond our present capabilities inadvertently. So we’re not going to try to shift Ramone anywhere in space and time, nothing dangerous like that. We’re going to give him the opportunity to get an idea of 0/Is, so if you’ll allow me to start doing my stuff, I’ll get the gnomiki to do theirs.

Dum da da dum

 – in case you haven’t guessed – I’m doing some drumming. When I hit the right note, the right frequency, the right um... whatever it is – then I feel the walls of space and time which seem to be immoveable most the time – swaying, growing thin, thinner, dissolving...

Ah – there we are.

Hi Ramone, how’s it going?

Hi Teepee [that’s what he calls me, long story] yeah I’m doing fine. Just having a bit of a rest.

    Now bear in mind guys, that when you’re dreaming you don’t see it that way – quite the opposite in fact – you see it as being back to base, as in the movie Avatar – that our 3D reality is in fact the more virtual reality, and “dream” merely refers to the innate ability to shift wavelengths in an almost unlimited spectrum, and then fix and hold the new bandwidth – revealing an entire world. Sounds impressive but it’s much the same as changing radio stations by twisting a dial.

You’re – kind of different Teepee. Wait a minute. You’re not telling me you’ve just waltzed in corporeally?

Kind of. Been doing a spot of drumming. Actually I’m setting up a 0/is anomaly.

Yeah? How’s that?

Can’t you remember?

Er... remember what?

Go on – I’ve already given you a clue.

A 0/is anomaly – that’s like short circuiting the system – getting it to reflect itself back, kind of collapsing the illusion

...or Matrix, that’s right.

Humm... wait a second – didn’t I fall asleep in your living room just now?

I er... don’t know – there’s only one way to find out.

Oh come on Teepee – it’s my breaktime – don’t send me back in right now.

Just have a quick glance. Do the 0/is loop.

    Now guys – bear in mind that here in dreamland central, which is neither 0 nor 1, it’s possible to access both sides. If Ramone wakes up in the normal way then it’ll be problematic for him to fall asleep again – so he doesn’t want to do that. But, you can always come back to your self by flying the whole way round the world, so to speak – and taking a glance from the other side of infinity. It may seem a long way to fly – but these are just numbers – they really don’t matter – so instead of waking up – Ramone does the opposite – he goes into a further, deeper sleep – which is actually very easy to do from dream central – you just kind of readjust your consciousness with no great effort, and feel yourself falling down through yourself into notness – into nought – carry on all the way until you’ve fallen all the way through their reality – and you come out the other side, beyond infinity, back in our world – which is where Ramone now is – seeing me standing next to him banging my drum

Dum da da dum

Dum da da dum

Dum da da dum

 – ah there you are Ramone – good job – you’ve kindly completed the loop – now – if you’d be so kind – put your hands on my shoulders – excellent!

Before Ramone knows what I’m doing – I put my hands on his, ie. the sleeping Ramone’s shoulders, and fall into him.

It’s a funny quantum thing – but either he dematerialises or I do – you never can tell – and the observer who could do so wouldn’t be able to, because he/she would prevent it from happening by watching – or fainting – in which case... you get it?

So there we are – a textbook demonstration of 0/is anomaly. At this moment in time Ramone and I have short circuited the entire 3D paradigm – but don’t worry – almost no one noticed – the system – as you’re probably aware – is infinitely resilient to acts of vandalism like this and almost instantaneously boots up a parallel version of itself – but – and here I need to capitalise – BUT – there’ll always be some observable difference between the original and the system recovery version – like the kid’s game spot the difference – it’s a lot of fun.

So where were we?

Actually, I’m not sure – you see, you may imagine we both wake up in dream space; others among you may assume we resume our conversation here in 3D, but there’ll be a few daring ones who are hypothesising that the system recovery version of 3D is in fact a 0/is experience – that your mind, body and soul migrates across into nothingness until you have that – hang on – am I still dreaming moment – at which point you experience a sudden jolt, what was that? and you’re back here in 3D with a hazy recollection of something weird having just transpired. Yeah – I like that one best – let’s go with it.

JOLT

Er?

Hang on, what was that? I’m sure I just saw you dressed as an elephant sitting on an a flat note between two gamma rays.

Yes – that’s about right Ramone. That’s why we call it a 0/is anomaly.

Oh my God! And we met in dream whatever it is...

Central.

That’s right. How come I’ve never recollected dream central before?

Amazing the way the mind forgets these things, isn’t it? Like, you wake up and a few minutes later you can’t even remember what your dream was all about.

Yeah – but this wasn’t a dream – this was what is it called anyway?

Not what.

Not what?

Yeah – if you name it it becomes part of your 3D inventory – so it can’t be named. “Not what” isn’t a name – just a description – like the term God.

But how come I’ve never recalled Not what? It’s like I spend half my life there.

Yes, but as you yourself said, you’re in your right mind here, and besides, the mind is a careful programmed machine that works on a need to know basis. Without the need to know – Toe protocol, as we call it, nothing would make sense any more – you’d not be able to continue functioning as a half wit.

Hey, wait a minute – who are you calling a half wit?

Well 3/4s wit now that you’ve managed to remember the other side of what.

Do you have to be offensive Teepee?

Yes, it’s my nature – but I can try and fight it if you like. Actually, I’m congratulating you – imagine how difficult it’s been for me conversing with you all these years, with only half your awareness functional.

Oh... that must’ve been seriously dull.

But we’re getting there at last, aren’t we? You just established an irrefutable data point. Successfully completing a 0/is anomaly ensures that your conscious-awareness now has to start questioning things, fundamentally. The end is nigh. You’re going to experience...

Don’t Teepee – your frightening me. I don’t want to experience all that... I just want to be normal.

Too late. There’s no going back. Your body can’t forget what it’s just gone through.

You bastard. You had no right to do that to me.

Tee hee, ha ha – you’re right! But it was fun, and now life’s going to be a whole lot more interesting, watching you coming to terms with...

What?

Not

Earth field technologies

Earth field technologies.
Er...
It's just a name, Ok.
...if you say so.
Instead of thinking of the Earth as a thing that we're living on, consider it a field.
A field?
Yes.
Why?
Because that way you can start to interact with it directly, as opposed to being stuck in the 3D version.
I happen to quite like the 3D version.
Yes, but it's not doing much is it.
How do you mean?
It's just a thing... a boxy thing. When you start to feel the Earth field all around you, and start interacting with it, all that changes. The field, you see, is only too happy to interact directly with your field.
With my what?
Your field. You too have a field, or I should say you're part of a field.
I am? First I've heard of it.
Well yes, they don't teach this at school do they. But you're already aware of more than you realise. You're aware of being conscious, aren't you, and in certain lucid moments you've felt your consciousness expand - you've felt yourself to be part of something bigger, something infinitely beautiful, for example that time in the mountains, you felt it, or when you were staring at the night sky...
When I saw the sun coming up that cold winter's morning out of the haze. Yeah, I felt it.
So, all we're doing is learning to work with the Earth field, and our own field is able to do so almost automatically, if you help it along a little.
So what do I need to do?
Well, you need to stop treating things as just things.
Uh?
You need to realise that anything and everything around you, whether a tree, a river, a road, a house, a car, even a table - they're all part of the Earth field - because we're actually inside the Earth.
No way!
Well yes - we're inside her atmosphere, we're inside her magnetic field, we're inside her bio-field - so taking one step back, one step further it shouldn't be hard to accept we're literally inside her life field, and that she is, in a sense, the other side of our life field.
Ok, that kind of makes sense.
Good, I'm glad to hear it.
So what am I supposed to do?
Stop ignoring her. Start treating her with a little respect. 
How?
As if she were anyone else - a living being, not a thing.
But you said even tables and chairs are part of her field. You don't seriously expect me to treat them as living do you?
No-yes.
Er?
No, but yes.
Oh God, Merry, this is getting ridiculous. I can't treat a table as a living entity. It's just a thing.
True, and yet it happens to be part of her field, in the same way your teeth, your hair, your skin, your bones are a part of yours.
But they're all alive.
True - but there's plenty of dead skin on your body which is part of you until it brushes off.
I just don't see the purpose of treating a thing as if it were alive.
The thing is just the materialization - it's the field behind, around or within the thing that is alive - and believe me - those things are completely permeated with the Earth field, so much so that those "things" can be animated, moved, floated, even reshaped by the field. 
What? This is beginning to sound like witchcraft.
Yes, exciting isn't it, but I assure you, no black magic is involved. This is a legitimate technology - the only technology which works in harmony, and peacefully, with the Earth field, in contrast to your many technologies which are based on some kind of forceful manipulation of field lines, which explains why the Earth is being affected so negatively by man's so called "progress".
Oh. You mean our technologies are inherently destructive. 
Yes, even if just a tiny bit - it all adds up. Now, Earth field technologies are so exciting because they don't require big governments or corporations, or factories and mass production to use them. They are localised, decentralised and ecologically beneficial. Actually, the more you use them the happier and healthier you become, and the Earth too.
How come?
Because they're based on mutual trust, mutual respect, and they always draw you back to the underlying harmony, the underlying perfection, the oneness or unity present throughout.
I don't see much harmony or unity in the world today.
No, but that's partly because of the modern technologies you're using which disrupt the Earth's field, not to mention your own personal field - both the individual and collective field of humanity.
Oh.
Yes, big O.
These things can only go so far. It's fair to say that so called modern technology contains the seeds of its own obsoletion.
As in obsolete?
Yes, by pushing the fields of earth and mankind ever further into disarray, it encourages the emergence of the new technology, the Earth field technologies which are now emerging from hibernation.
Oh. They've...
Of course - they've been used before. How else do you imagine the ancients were able to build on such a vast scale.
Oh.
So it's only natural that we're now returning to the new old ways.
Do you mean all this is predetermined? That we've had little or no part to play in it all?
No-yes.
Oh come on, Merry, make up your mind.
No, it isn't predetermined. You're free to destroy your planet as many human civilisations have done before you, but you're also able to turn it round - to complete the circle - if you're able to step back, take a deep breath and let nature guide you.
Nature? Or God perhaps?
Or God, or intuition... these words are somewhat caught up in the 3D way of thinking - and held hostage by different groups of individuals. Now, call it what you like - but the name is neither here nor there. Either you choose the path of destruction, in which case not even God will interfere with your freewill selection, or you choose peace, harmony, wisdom - in which case you can very quickly restore your beautiful Earth, turning it back into a garden of goodness and love. You see, engaging the Earth field will lead to huge changes in how you live, how you think, how you breathe and your awareness. You'll no longer be stuck in an unresponsive, hate filled reality. You'll be journeying back into ever deeper levels of harmony and bliss.
Sounds too good to be true!
Yes, which is why people have to really want it, have to be ready for it - otherwise they'll dismiss it as an idle fantasy, particularly religious folk who can be quite set on suffering and retribution.
Oh. I get the impression you don't like them.
On the contrary - I have the deepest respect and admiration for them, but sometimes, just occasionally they need to put down their burden of shame and guilt to play in the garden like the little child they once used to be. It doesn't take much - the Earth's field is like mother love - it can quickly work its magic and restore them to their rightful, beautiful selves.
What about the sociopaths, the business elite?
Sigh! What sociopath? They are crying louder than anyone else for love - they just don't feel it and so have turned bullies.
Killing millions in their war games.
That too, but as the rest of humanity starts to engage the Earth field bringing forth myriad technologies, raising the frequency of the entire planet - they too, the dark ones, will melt in the sunlight. Believe me. Ice cannot handle the temperatures of loving oneness we're about to release.
Sounds like global warming.
It is. The ice age is ending.
You mean there's going to be another catastrophic flood?
Oh that? There might be, but I doubt it.
You're not worried?
You have no idea of what you're capable of. When you start to resurrect the Earth field technologies these fears will no longer be relevant. 
But the older civilisations - they were wiped out.
Not all of them.
No?
Some moved on. They evolved to the next level. Others were wiped out when they caught the Lucifer bug.
The what? 
Well, your religions refer to the incident. When they decided they could do things better than Nature itself.
Or God.
Yes, or God, a bit like your scientists are doing with genetically modified foods. They may seem to be clever for a while, but before too long you'll get a nasty wake up call.
How do you mean?
Because you didn't design the entire genome. You don't know a half of what it contains or why. Suddenly there'll be a shift of some sort and the genetically modified crops will no longer be able to adapt. That kind of thing. So, the Lucifer bug is bad enough at your level - but imagine your civilisation is infinitely more advanced, as there have been in the past, the results can be apocalyptically spectacular to say the least.
Oh.
You live and learn.
How do you mean? Whole civilisations were wiped out. We sank into the dark ages. Where's the learning process in that?
Your civilisation contains the memory of everything that's happened in the past. Your sojourn in the darkness, at a primitive level of evolution, has enabled you to process whatever it was that needed dealing with. You're now ready to advance and avoid the folly that sank you last time.
Oh. 
But it all starts with a little humility.
How do you mean?
Well, you've got to step off your high horses. You've been telling yourselves how clever you are with your rockets, mobile phones and the likes, but to engage the Earth field you need to start accepting that all your advances have been bought at the cost of the Earth's blood - by raping and pillaging her, by constantly killing your fellow men, particularly weaker peoples, and by denying and disrupting the Field that you're part of. All this was stupid but understandable. Now, however, you know better. It's time. Either you step up to the mark and engage, or you die, and I mean die, and this has nothing to do with governments or anyone else. Each one of you, individually, is all that matters, all it takes, all that's required.
How so?
Because the field is not 3D. Engaging the field you peel off into another configuration of reality. The rest of humanity can go to hell, if they so choose - but you - you are only responsible for yourself.
But you said that the sociopaths will be saved if we...
Yes I did. When enough of you engage the Earth fields it will have a general warming effect as the different layers of reality are not completely separate, but starting the process, to shift into a vastly new reality in which your life becomes meaningful again, in which you're able to do real good, and to reengage your soul magic - this only requires the humility to start.
But why humility?
Because you have to go through the inner-child. There's no other way. You've got to talk to the birds, the trees, the cake your making; you've got to imagine there are wonderful beings all around - fairies if you like, gnomiki or angels; you've got to hold your hands up to the machine that doesn't seem to be working and do a crazy magic dance - feeling, probing, searching for the field lines which indicate where the fault lies, where the disharmony is most acute, then smooth it away.
You mean we've got to become raving lunatics.
Absolutely                not.
Hey! You can't have both.
In 3D no, you can't. It would violate the logic of material reality in which things are either or.
Either or?
Either one thing or another... but the Earth Fields are not governed by laws of matter. All things are of a oneness and even though separated by time or space, can resonate with one another. Instead of thinking in terms of thing, better to sense how all things are constantly emerging from the Earth field, with our assistance as observers. When we lighten up and start perceiving things in a less dogmatic way: it becomes much, much easier to tune into the Field and adjust the balance of things. So learn to play. Learn to feel the magic interconnectedness of all things, because their thinginess is largely an illusion, and behind the material object is not what you think, not what you imagine, not what you know or understand.
Not what?
Correct. There's always something else, and ultimately you come back to the oneness, the allness, the isness, even when you start with a lump of stone or a sock.
Oh God, this is going to be weird.
Sing, sing to your socks, sing to your food as you make it, dance, dance and feel the field lines dancing with you, talk, praise the beauty, the perfection, the magic of all that is, and discover the treasure, the abundance, the IS which you have been so sorely missing all your lives, without even realising it. Please repeat the following...
Do I have to?
No, but it might be fun.
Ok.
0=1
0=1?
Yes. It is  I am
It is I am - what does it mean?
It means nothing in 3D, but everything if and when you're ready to go beyond. In the meantime, it means that you've now joined the Earth field technologies program, so as part of your welcome pack I'd like to show you how to...
Hey! Merry? Where did you go? Hey! 

Bzzzzzz - a small, brightly coloured beetle flies past. Bizarre - Zoe is convinced it's talking to her?!
Dance? With a beetle? I can't.
Dance.
I can't... Oh God.
Dance.
Oh... alright. 
She's looks around to make sure no one is watching and starts dancing with the beetle which is looping around in the air and the next thing you know....

To be continued.

Baikal speaks trilogy

Day one

21/03

     

     1

Calling across the ages of eternity

I sign my name

With a song

On the cover page

Of Baikal

     2

Clapping my hands

I snap time in two

Syncopating time and space

Writing lines

Of intent

     3

Across the waters of Baikal

A world awaits

Not yet born

Not yet ready

To assume place

    4

Did I tell you

How Baikal holds

The memories of

The human race

Did I tell you

     5

The morning breaks

Cold and clear

No morning ever spoke

My name

As you do

     6

Baikal shrugs as hail

Spickles its surface

When will you remember

Me

When will you

   

     7

Rising with the moon

I lay my hand upon

The night

And draw the empty

Star light

     8

If Baikal won’t say

How the world

Goes around

If Baikal won’t say

Baikal’s mood

     9

Dropping bombs of rain

Dropping bombs I rain

The waters of the world

Back into submission

Guilelessly

     10

Standing astride Baikal

The sky in my hair

The Earth in my bowels

Reaching along her shoreline

Tenderly

     11

Drumming my fingers

On the edge of eternity

Reaching into the depths

Of Blue

I hear you back

     12

Fizzing waters slide across

The wake

As glide and slop

The suck and skim

Of tuneful slake

Day two

22/03

    

                                        

                                 

                                      

                                 

                                      

                                      

                                     

                                                                                                                                                     
     1

Dreaming of Baikal

I fail to see

The purpose

Of me

Being me

     2

Between worlds

Between waves

Between words

Is that space

That is  free

     3

See the shoreline curve

The rocks

Glance at them

Sky  water  stone

Everything else is tone

     4

Bird swoops down into sea

Grabs fish

Flying over poem

Scratching around for words

Unashamedly

                                                                                                       

     5

Never the twain shall meet

And yet horizon squeezes

Infinity to a single point

Of blurred intensity

For me

     6

Boat on Baikal’s endless

Skyfulness

Count the waves

Count the clouds

Stretch credibility

     7

Never the ice comes too soon

Never the water too deep

Never the gods of Baikal

Dally with our destiny

Needlessly

     8

Did the wind tell you

What I want to say

Did the omul rise

Slap its tail

And win your heart’s gaze

                                                                                                                                                                                                                

     9

If I drown all sorrow

In the deepest hollow

Of this lake

If I drum all night

What then

     10

Skimming o’er the waters

I was loath to part

With spirit

Loath to leap

Into fragile form

     11

Night falls and now

You’ll not know

Where I start or end

I’ll take you through

The veil   beyond

     12

If the teeming life of summers

Too short

The biomass of

Concern and thought

Is not enough 

Day three

23/03

     1

Draping my face

Across the page

Of Baikal’s

Wordlessness

I take the bait

     2

A penny for your thoughts

A gap big enough

To hold abysmal

Screams

and fathomless fears

     3

Despite the light

Despite reflective sight

Baikal’s darkness penetrates

My mind

And inter-plays

     4

Failing to see

Failing to breathe eternity 

My very own Baikal beauty  

                   message inaudible

Oh

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
     5

Baikal sits astride my heart

A tart legs open wide

Lasciviously

Angel wings beat my brow 
Blue 

     6

Tossed into nullity 
Queen B
Reverses me 

Umbilically 

Out of lifelong woe

     7

Anger stirs the surface one last time

Cutting deep

Slashing tearing splicing

Line on line

Frown on frown

     8

Stepping out I dance

Across the lake

Feel me go

Feel the fallacies

Of things I think  I know

                                                                                                                                                                                                  

     9

Green the glass
Of bukhta-bay
Brimming story full 
Elves  fairies of Baikal
Sing well-a-day

     10

Baikal bleeds across the snow

Seal clubbed for pelt
                 broken thread

Things come and go
Humankind

     11

Mountains rim my drum

Baikal’s skin drawn tight

Flexing my utter resolve

I crow foot the tale

And beat sinewy time

     12

The world of things

Stars and night

Baikal’s fish eye

Rings them round

Girl widow bride
