My Garden

I Pray
That I may see clearly
Things as they are not as I want them to be
Mountains are mountains
Just as they are
Not as I want them to be
My eyes are burning
My tongue is burning
My nose is burning
My ears are burning
My body is burning
My Mouth is burning
Death is the ultimate fucker
Death is the ultimate…
Now I know who’s in my garden
Now I know what form it takes
Gone but never quite forgotten
I have found a resting place
I believe
There is no separation
Every moment is like arrows that meet in mid-air
But sometimes I fee like my head is on fire
Behold it burning
Listen!
Buddha said: “Everything is burning
All of the senses, the mountains and the fire’
This is it
The fire sermon
My eyes are burning
My mouth is burning
My nose is burning
My ears are burning
My body is burning
My Mouth is burning
Death is the ultimate fucker
Death is the ultimate…
Now I know who’s in my garden
Now I know what form it takes
Gone but never quite forgotten
I have found a resting place

my dog's haunting rabbits in the yard.
casey's at home, watching tv
i step in, do what i can, he
doesn't care, just wants to watch them
flee. say no, the word's despair, he
gathers, folds, takes a leak, dim
light depresses, dusts the top and
sits with april as she unfolds her
knees, sibylle calls, like no one’s home, her
mouth tears open, sigh, breathe, and
there, i saw a lonely doe,suz wakes up, gets dressed and leaves, it
looks like hunger, this tableau,
birds descending on piles of feet in
living rooms, they’re born again to
men like ghosts attached to
teeth, the words sting in passing
more or less
—
what’s left to find for
you anymore
what’s left to find that
you don’t see
—
i’d give
truth to your life
when i could
i’d try
to speak you clearly
—
i paled
against so many
denials every day
“i wanna die”
you took your life
as if what's broken
laid inside
i couldn’t help it
i tried
so what
—
“so what
if wood learns
she's made a violin?”
—
where trust and love fail,
fear makes a map
you followed it

can't seem to find it
what's in the way
woke up this morning
it’s all the same
can't seem to find it
what's in the way
woke up this morning
it’s all the same
can't seem to find it
what's in the way
woke up this morning
it’s all the same
can't seem to find it
what's in the way
woke up this morning
it’s all the same
can’t seem to find it
what’s in the way…
you left us with a whisper
i wanna scream
satan's laughing, boys are laughing,
and the current stays the same
nothing remains

now i'm facing it.
at carol's apartment,
ass flat upon the frame,
mind doing something,
waiting, looking, spitting
image, cars and heat
casey got beat
while out with tessa
i heard days later
when we reconvened
and suz was followed
that same week
and casey and tessa
still can't sleep,
hammer and screw.
some guy yells faggot,
he drives off gnawing,
flexing his cheeks.
suz left the tool shop
before she finished
and called my phone
once she was relieved.

i have found
a love so sublime
that nothing else could
take its place.
i have found
a world in mine
and nothing could
take it away.
my god is enduring
this world every day.
each day
i leave god to it.
no death could be worth
escaping
the timbre
of this pain.

i’ve been born of many fathers
and i’ll be born again
i’ve been born of many fathers
and i’ll be born again
i’ve been born of many fathers
and i’ll be born again
i’ve been born of many fathers
and i’ll be born again

Oh my love
When you are born
And you take shape and color
And your form arises as if from nothing
May you see
That even right now
So many years before you
You can be found
And I love you
Just as empty skies are filled
Every moment touches all of time
So I tell you I love you
Right now
And this is
Right now
So I have always loved
And I will always love you
Just as brightest day becomes the night
Every moment touches all of time
So I tell you I love you
Right now
And this is
Right now
So I have always loved
And I will always love you

you look like you’re dying
what do you need
lift out from the clutter fuck
sitting under
ten grams of weed
feels like you’re gonna hurt forever
what do you need
Huike is at the bottom of the mountain
With his head on fire
Seeking the great master
To pacify his mind, Bodhidharma
The Great see-er who cut off his eyelids
And stared at a wall for 9 whole years
one thousand little leaves
one thousand trees
each filament known by light,
earth, sap, and seed,
each drop of rain in fall,
each beast and breed
one thousand little leaves,
one thousand trees
Huike is at the mouth of the cave now
Holding his flaming head in his hands
And crying out:
“Bodhidharma, I’m freezing to death!
But you just stare at the wall and say nothing
And nothing, and nothing and nothing and nothing at all.
How can I show great faith in the wisdom of the Dharma
And doubt in the self?
I cut off my arm!”

Hallelujah!
How do you call out to God
If you say that the great words
Are the moon on the water?
Bodhidharma,
My head is on fire.
My head is on fire!
Should I cut off my eyelids
And stare at the stone wall?
Could you pacify my mind for me?

Here I am.
I can see my breath at the edge of the ocean
Where scattered debris
Is cast about in crazy circles
By the water.
And I look up at the sky
Towards the point where sky encounters the water
And I reflect
On the early spring in Europe in 1914.
At the very height
Of the world they built
They destroyed it
For no reason.
I am fucking freezing
And the water looks cold but I wanna try swimming
And go out beyond where I can stand
And float around in ceaseless motion
Of waves…
Sometimes I’m lifted and sometimes they crash down on me
I’m totally out of control
With a mouth full of water

Momentous and operatic, the most emotive and cathartic doom metal album of recent memory. A welcome surprise, and an easy recommendation.
