IN VISIONS OF THE NIGHT
.
There are dragons
at the bottom of the river,
and the blood of demons
in the sky.
.
And to our left and right
the virgins fly
through that open window
that opens to the sky.
.
And in the blink of Shiva’s eye,
a dark mountain
rises to an even darker sky.
.
(and pierces Shiva’s eye)
.
Make no mistake:
the secret is the eye:
the eye that sees
and does not see;
.
the eye looking at the eye
looking back at me
.
right before we die,
when there is neither you nor I
but only a far-off speck
in a far-off corner
of Shiva’s far-off eye.
.
Om shanti, shanti, shanti Om.
