The Dude Abides
GODSTUFF
Samskara
Rainwater, found water
Feeds the weeds,
Choking blossoms, fruit, vines
That climb and reach for light.
Pull and tug, forget the fertilizer and the
Topsoil.
Found water gives life, accidentally
On purpose.
Starve them, turn out the light, make them
Thirst for found water and
Find none.
Sip the found water.
Capture
it
in
a calabash,
a new wineskin,
upturned palms.
Sip the wine, the miracle of living water
Found where the well
was dry.
Be the succulent drinking deeply
when there is
Rain
and abiding until
Found water falls
Again.
