for glen, gone now

June 26, 2006

You are being born
into the arms and out of
the mouth of the Dalai Lama.
You are giving and receiving forgiveness.
You have become an empty channel.
You are perfect.

You want for nothing –
not food or water,
not words or water.
You are pure thinned existence.
A skin and bone white woman now,
you are perfect.

You are wandering
already. You are leaving
this room behind – us all behind.
You are moving too fast
for us to follow.
And you are perfect.
