PAIN

the lump of pain in chest--

LIBERATION

Their freedom to choose

keeps them together for love

exchange discourse for lunghi

body for liberation

yoga and meditation



in leisure try to find out

who is available for

a fling or contrive meeting

or turn legs to jellied state

or sip tea under the trees



a hypocrisy

of awakening in group

they jump and lie on each other

in the name of sadhana

teeter on the edge of ruin

GROUP DANCE

Ending with lewd joke

with sensation between thighs

his morning discourse

arouses the disciples

to dance in groups groping sex


realize consciousness

through multiple copulation

bliss of heaven

in the evening practice

kundalini meditation

WHO CARES?

Because you didn’t come

I drank alone and killed

several black ants

thinking about you and

my own nightly nemesis


TV no solace

nor the standup comedy

sensex fell further

who cares for me or the spark

you thought I had but who cares

ORGASM

Her guru reminds

he knows her inside out:

she can overcome

her migranes making love

lying on top of her partner

and himself workshops

with one, two, three devotees

in semi-nude light

calls it an experiment

to provoke God to orgasm
