in san francisco

 

“…the first noble truth is suffering….”

-siddhartha

 

one block away

the tenderloin district

suffering

within and beyond

suffering

 

i see two emaciated young souls

lying on the pavement of grace

who have sought love

been denied love

found love

shattered

broken

dying

 

and in their vacant eyes

 

i see not you, beloved, but me

i see stars shining in their fading souls

for you beloved, beloved for you

 

i see and do not see them

i see you, i see love, i see us seeing them

you seeing me now me seeing you

 

suffering

beyond and within

suffering

the sacred heart

one heartbeat away

 

not in bethlehem but in san francisco

 

i love your darkness my beloved dark one
