The quicksand of discursive intention
will make you sink.

‘The Sun, the Moon, the River’

Sakyong, Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche
Wales, June 2002, after seeing Antony & Cleopatra

Grandiloquent tart poem

Tuesday, December 6th, 2005

Inexorable undulations
demand precise punctuation.

Acute, tender slaps,
butterfly whip flicks,
stings, whallops and snaps.

Breathless, smarting intervals…
Shameless, taut supplicant-

SMACK!

Flagrant, flawless, perfect.
Flashfire flares,
ignites dendrite dynamite.

Deft,
intimate,
ultimate,
triumphant
surrender.

Not a proper haiku

Surly soup,
burbling slothfully,
turgid crystals of discontent melt.
