Mustangs of Samsara




In the beginning nothing comes 

In the middle nothing is 

In the end nothing goes

                           - Milarepa



in this samsara there are demi-animals
which engender cowboys coiling lassos
so they do not go feral like mustangs

small dusty horse-anomalies
in a mathematical function their feathertails seen in profile
picking their way at dusk atop the cliffs
causing rope & bullets to arise

and in the new balance for the moment
nothing more needs to arise nothing needs to fall

but the small horses
think they tumble
think they hear a thud

their hides abrade along the dirt
they disappear
new horses arise

or things like horses
horses that don't run off

ropes go slender
bullets are taken from rifles

o anything will exist if needed
for balance
every horror
every transcendence

a horse-goddess aggregates
in the play of quanta
her cheeks are greek
in their gravity

>


her neigh

calls into being a cowboy-
god and for another blinding moment
nothing is coming nothing
is being nothing is going
