View submission: Friday Night Zen Poetry Slam: Promises of happiness, “zazen for nothing”
That which* flew here on iron broom.
Then broke it for no reason.
Melted it to molten ball.
Then hid with Shiva's poison.
Without great doubt there's nought to break
nor reason seek to break it.
There's just no lightful shining mark
when you see you forsake it.

did not remember about iron brooms[1]
saw some for sale, didn't catch the price
Halāhala or Kālakūṭa seems a powerful poison
(not fish in french, not poisson)
I've read much about iron things,
Maybe I haven't had the necessary magnet?

Shining lights, pretty sights
and danceable music
can you hold the feeling?
be in the beginning?
Be right there with Buddha
as he turns the wheels of life
after reaching the end?

Today I went to the grocery store
For popsicles for my sore throat
On the way home I considered how much I wanted a banana milkshake
I consoled myself with banana-flavored "Quiescently Frozen Confections" instead
Then I took my Augmentin horse pill
🍌
A banana milkshake would have been better
