the book of kleshas
2 : Ignorance / miracles


The miracle
of light
of tactile sensation
of sentience.

The flesh embraces us
making of light
and sound and substance
and of sin
a holy sacrament
we must perform again
and again.

Living
without seeing
breathing
without knowing
is like water
fed to fire
producing a mirage -
a moment,
then destruction.

This too,
yes, this moment,
sacred as the flame
that devours it.
