WAKING UP
Warmup exercises:
coffee, spiritual practices,
writing to Reality
Then work’s task list
It’s like being a climber, actually
I wake, groggy
I start my procedure
I have these little chisels
putting one hand
of my mind
up my mind
then the other
Something busting
outta fuzz
Passing into various lucidities
like sighting minnows swimming in my
peripheral awareness
I ease myself into a clearness,
a cradle I’ve built for myself
It’s like a tent
hanging off
the side of a mountain
or a harness
Just tying my shoes,
just getting up into the ropes
helps me ease into the anchors
laid on the mountain
Footholds from established practice,
muscles built from faith in
previously laid sling
