Meditations on the Ajna Chakra
Meditations on the Ajna Chakra

every morning I straddle
night and day
sit in the dark
while the man catches the last
ferry back from sleep
and the cats prowl
and wake the dog
and the neighbor leaves in the blueblack
to her job at the wire factory
and the children on the street dream
it’s Saturday or summer
and the #29 bus shakes the old house
on its way down to Niagara
and all these all these
sit with me
so that—aham
I am
these and
so that—aham
I am
not these
and every night
we I these
reverse the process
putting the house
to sleep and never
arriving never
here nor there
but practicing
at the edges of each
S, Robbins, from Pilgrimage
