Spring - Mount Eerie

Mind like a flower, a flower falling

A candle in the basement

Nothing is real, but there is a spring inside

Waves breaking still reflect the moon

I erase myself and songs echo

Mind is an ocean

Thoughts are its waves breaking

Awake at dawn, thoughts unformed

(before I remember where I am)

The clear universe is shown

A spring opens up

Mind like a flower falling blooming only to be blown

Borne across the sky unknown

Living life as if it’s not a passing animal dream, a poem

A brief shelter seen as home

Mind like a falling flower like a wide ocean

Reflecting whatever on its dark waves

In rows, unclear, unending thoughts

Distorting the only moon the light from nowhere

Beneath all this, the liquid stone

Beneath the fountains and the road

All solid things I’m shown

A pool of placid water pours in the windows

And nothing is impermeable

The basement’s flooded

The walls are groaning in the wind

I leap beyond all this into the water at night

The spring keeps opening wide
