ONCE

There is an angel at the head and an angel at the feet

or: rather:

there would be if there were a body—

the ways of being are manifold:

     before there was, was, is, to come, not yet, never to be.

Blessed is the head and blessed are the feet

or: rather:

watch as the body walks away

through the firm stone, over the waves

without causing a ripple, from the realm

of senses to the realm of nothing

and back once more

or: rather:

again.
