Need not end. Indeed, nothing. Step
out. Grist for wits. Shadow of your
shell. Stand there. 

No other ground. No
other. And the world concerns you every-
where, but do not identify with it. 

Let light onto us. Flowers through the
gate, flowers skimming
the wall. A carpet of petal. 

Treasures below the earth. Neither in
this world nor another, guarding.
Nothing but fade and flourish. 

--from 'A Shipwreck in Heaven'; Keith Waldrop
