Ronald Dahl: PRAYER WHEELS/ON MY FATHER’S SIDE
__________________________
prayer wheels
on my father’s side
it’s all redwoods, fully
the climate of that &
how footfalls echo
thru the earth, stilling
quiet tremors of a heart
feeling for that longing.

the womb that bore me
now but ash, the steady
diet of words remains
nourishing, honed. &
whittled to an essense
thru practice – what tuning
is in a long birth of patience.

it is the space of events
that one is within -
forming the whole of it
which is a thing in itself
yet no thing but being
in continuity, whether
or not you might notice.

That which is irritating
remains perhaps unhealed
perhaps accommodated
pervious as background
music in an elevator when
some sudden healing pie
cosmic pie he said, hits home.
anybody ever tell you
about a deeper truth
right there within it all &
the all I mean is The All
quietly inclusive, including
the web suspended among
filaments of cosmic dust?
