Falling drops
wet
Thunder claps at my ignorrance
mother sky crying
for no apparent reason

Today
I am
Entraced in Karmic Christo-gnostic isms
OM
MA
I Chant to myself loudly inward
OM
attaining oneness
masochistic nirvana
While fumbling with broken
crusifix
faintly remembering religion

Breaking into
Holy laughter
at the sight of my
self induced Stigmata
watching drops of diety
painting the floor
paying omage to my
patron saint
Jackson Pollack

OM
Ah
in a short breath
I Am
a man
yet a wayward child
at the feet of senile fathers

breathing
breathing slowly
tasting caustic acid air
bitter yet strangely familiar

Remebering yesterday's sins
with sacremental checkbook
burning signed paper
incense
Allah, Yaweh, Budah, Shiva, Krishna
muttering muted curses
for deities forgotten
stopping to drink the last drop
of last night's saki
before stepping outside

Wind blows
breathe
walking wet
skipping
as rain falls
angels bowl
and gods cry

I love the "angels bowl and gods cry" line, it takes me back to childhood and words of my mother. Thank you, for the pensiveness.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown
