2017-05-30 – Words cannot touch it

Friday, May 31st, 2019

I like that sometimes I walk around
with an empty and aware mind.
I don’t comment on it to myself and break the silence – I just know it;
as if another color has come into my experience.

And I like what I’ve come to call Authenticity;
when I’m using words.

It’s like another color in my awareness.

As if everything coming to me is painting the back wall of
the empty room that I am and I am inseparably in it.

Words don’t begin to touch this.

2017-03-30 – After Words

Monday, April 10th, 2023

There is a simplicity – after words.
The direct, knowing that unfolds everything without edges.
You see, you know, you feel, you understand – it’s inseparable.
The moment is everything, there is no other.
All that was your mind, before, awaits as a servant now.
Like your hand, it does just what you need. And then it rests.

2017-04-04 – “Enola Eno”

Monday, April 10th, 2023

A job, a property, a town, a home, friends, a family, a relationship.
One by one, the things that bind are loosening and slipping away.
An inevitable consequence of the path I’ve chosen.
To be alone in the world, I’ve come full circle since I was 16
and opened my first book of poetry with the words “Inola Eno”.
