The Poetry of William Stablein
way of thinking
(a friend asked me how I think while driving around near Hilo Hawaii 2004)
if thinking right . on some right
thinking straight . to some straight
around thought . any dimension
deep thought . at least as deep as the sea
creative thought . Zen action thought
building thought . connecting imaginary dots
birthing images . not having anything or nothing
then not thinking . in the hustle bustle
about any series . that eats self or blows up
moving ratiocinations . tending to fade away
melody and image . more sticky
ineffable entities . missed by cyclotrons
regrouping in deep space and silence . must give it name
weaving disappearing contexts . no name
threading no thinking . makes deities and ghosts
pausing lingering stopping breath . fills empties cavities
thoughts feelings wiggling connections . starve for craving
images escape . empowering cycles of life
like snowflakes . melt with the touch
the clock ticks . mice run the tick dock tickety dock
murmurings capture space . threads appear
to be continued of course.
STILL
(waiting for love in phitsanulok. 2001 พ . ส.2003)
Still . the mountain
looming
round the walk
calming the hair
mothers love . still
demanding love
mothers wrath
leaking affect
Still . eyes
hanging in all directions
no choice . under gaze
following the followed
Still . dog
fabricating nothing
smells blood . chi
basking in the sand
Lady . Still
playing cards
her dream
spreads
Still . blue sky
climbing heavens stairway
rumbling earth .
suspended . Still very Still
