Distraction by Ted Guhl

      meditation
      fixed in his eye's point
      quiet on the edge of transcendence

      observes:
      sound of a heater fan
      distant mummers on TV
      two qualities of light
      small back pain

      roar of universe (blood flow?)
      pressure at the base of the skull
      wanting to rise

      breathe...

      horn of the beast roars

      window in red against black
      multiplies
      behind closed eyelids
      closer...

      a cat cries
      once

      damn!

      Your face on my eyelids

      i am
      a fish at the edge of the pond

      waiting...
