Heaven-Become

What is this? that comes to mind
all things self-same   or is it no-self
in every-self-every-thing?   why
am I such a dunce when
it's so easy to just want-want stuff?

Under this tree:   it's as if Mind
is thinking "me" and I am not "knowing"
Earth-World as thing   nor as separate:
when all-of-a-sudden   we are
all brand new   as Heaven-Become

But want-want is Heaven-Become
inside-out   making the appearance
of great action   when all along the Way
there is the nothing-do of elegant simplicity:
the petals of every flower are enough

Of Itself   Is rises from Not   SWEET
the brown eyes of this passing deer
looking deep into mine   maybe nothing-do
is Way of Deer   is Way of Cosmos:
everything only this-that-Heaven-Become

SWEET-BAKE the potato of Crazy Wisdom:
Why not? says why not save all beings
save everything down through flea to particle
of savory possibility   so   here is the YAWN
of GOD saying: do it yourself O Bodhisattva!

Heaven-Become SWEET Buddha-Boy
SWEET Jesus-Girl   SWEET Krishna-Blue
All-Kinds SWEET Savory-Saving
All-Kinds FLOWERS blossom on God's
Body: LOOK! She dances into New-Cosmos
