the liquid edge

 

“The world is a Solutrean Blade.”

-Annie Dillard

 

the world is all spirit inverting all spirit is the world

 

my beloved is always deconstructing the bulwarks of my mind

raindrops gently falling, falling and wind gently gentle whispering

 

all spirit is the world the world is all spirit inverting

 

my beloved is always disassembling the palace of my heart

sunlight and moonlight sneaking into the fine lines and cracks

 

inverting all spirit is the world the world is all spirit

 

my beloved is always dissolving the bricks and straw of my soul

golden sunlight and silver moonlight quickly melting into the shadows

 

all spirit inverting all spirit is the world the world is

 

my beloved is always unraveling, tantalizing, teasing, unveiling spirit

bright spirit chasing dark shadows, dark shadows teasing bright spirit

 

spirit flirting with matter into,

fleeting moments, fugitive moments, moments fugitive, moments fleeting

into matter with flirting spirit

 

the world is all spirit inverting all spirit is the world

 

my beloved is always dissolving the solutrean edges of all existence

bulwarks into palaces into bricks into straw and mud into water into

 

the lover loving the lover arising into,

the beloved loving the beloved arising into,

love endlessly loving endlessly love arising into

 

the translucent edge of blissful nothingness

 

oh my reader,

 

what lies beyond beyond and beneath beneath and beyond beyond lies what

 

love arising, infinitely, endlessly, arising love

 

hear me before i am gone, gone, gone

 

i disappear into fluidity, the liquid edge of my beloved, my dark one, my mirabai

 

follow me, follow me, follow me and disappear into love
