But it took a 100 months
Or more
To comprehend the vastness of the knowings
I hold but sand
Not able to eat beach
But I only know consumption myself
The other
The world whole
I only know
To stuff myself with sights and sounds and sorrows
Too consumed to move.
So I bathed myself in silence
Then in life and hanging laundry
I am angry at myself
My first response to harm is to make it mine
Enough!
Those “teachings” were to tame the fires
Of merciless Indian savages*
They are really just another way to kills us.
