The Bell





The Bell

Ring the bell
It’s an invitation,
he said,

You rang it in beauty, your nature revealed.

Now I invite the bell to reveal what is:
My heart torn asunder.
I stumble as I attempt to prostrate myself
In surrender to this emptiness, broken sobs,
Vomit out of a choked throat. Nothing,
Never anything, but this, but this
Empty essence.

Desire and Aversion have ruined me
I want only refuge in you.
But that is not here she says
Go back, go back,
Ring the bell Die to this
Die to this.
