Meditatio

In the back’s low hollow sometimes
a weightless hand guides me, gentle pressure
so I tack soft as a sailboat. (Go there)

Soften the space between your eyes (smudge
of eucalyptus), the third eye
opens. There’s the wide vermilion sky

Um, I'm confused.

Give me poems I can understand, like

Little doggy on the street.
Fast car, minced meat

author unknown.
