Kathy, … my watch came today …
and my socks and shirt.

Outside on the grass I opened the package
to get my watch
but what I found there
were my memories and feelings;
your face…eyes…essence…
as warm as the sun on my skin

That you’re leaving my life, again,
and going out to try once more
to make sense of yours thru security
and commitment…

I can’t debate it … nor would I try,
my friend.

But I can, … I can see your eyes, here.
And remember the hours we’ve spent together
and I can mourn the loss of what you gave me
my sweet sister, lover and friend
God’s speed.

As empty as the wind
Rajneeshpuram blows thru me
its rain, its words, its brown hills
sculpted in the late afternoon sun
and the fragments of cold wind
beneath the swarming clouds

Kundalini ends with the worshipers
whispers singing ‘Gautama’
towards Bhagwan’s home

I see faces here with intellect and character
wearing orange
and they remind me that
our mild religious persecutions
could be their political prisons
