Shiva / Shakti

There's a nexus somewhere
Where the strands connect
Lattices of probability &
The proleptic urge
Flatten & smooth under
My mind's fervid embrace
The horizon keeping pace
With my scrambling efforts
To bring it closer.

The way through is
Through you, through I-in-you
Not in running but in stillness.

In stillness.

Hold still. Climb on. Close.

Then open. Then we open.
And.
Expand, like a spiral
In all directions.
Our halo, omnidirectional.
I remember this. Yes.
From before.

Before I wore this suit of mud.
This clay.
Yes. From before I remember.

Touching the horizon seems now rather unambitious.
And time?
Cannot bind me -- will not.

Blind me. Close these "I"s forever.
And you, too.
I-in-you-we-in-us-in-thee.

How long? How long soar?
Weave the tracery --
Fiery filigree?
How long coax the lotus into bloom?
So burns the chakra.
Be patient.
Thee-in-me.

Stretch further with me.
Not too far. Not too long.
Mortal coil might lose its spring.
Hover now, we, hover close.
Survey the multiverse.
On and on.

Mm. Drink deeply.
Return now. Return with me.
Now. Return with me.
To those places we know. Yes.
Those bodies.
Where we weigh infinitely.

Return, but remember.
Remember the megatonal song.
The two-in-one.
The fire.
I-in-thee.
The breath of worlds.
Thee-in-me.
