walking to the quiet place with
THE NORTH AMERICAN BOOK OF THE DEAD




no light opens the eye
     to the quiet place is clouds
     sun moon mountains water wind

...

the quiet place is a wreath
     of angels around the eyes

...

this questioning is love
     this love is behind the third eye
     is the quiet place

...

ilive in the noise behind
     all the noise is the quiet place

...

the explosion of the mountain
     not moving is absolute
     silence in the quiet place

...

i look for the quiet place without
     looking it disappears
     when i know i am there now

...
