Hunting


Sharpening my phantom arrows
(which nonetheless can sting and kill)
I am reminded that the world is an illusion.

These days I am solipsistic,
compassing the cosmos in my head.
The fabric of the universe
drapes softly in obedience
to gravity where I have flung it
over the frame of the futon.
It is still warm from the heat
of heavenly bodies.

Later with the contents of my quiver
I will go forth and hunt the semblance of my peace of mind.
