All The Things the Buddhists Say You Should Not Do, I Am Doing

Water

fall

I had a tremendous

Experience

years ago

waiting for a friend 

who never showed

at Solduc Falls

watching 

water 

fall

cohesion broke down

and drops

sprayed out 

living out individual 

lifetimes of apparent 

separation in seconds

then rejoining the stream 

as they fell

—

Lately, though,

I haven’t slept well

in months

I cannot let go

I cling

I hold

I attach

All the things that the 

Buddhists say you

should not do

I am doing…
