"Even though you do not measure the hours of the day
as long or short, far or near, you can still call it
twelve hours. Because the sign of time's coming and
going are obvious, people do not doubt it. Although
they do not doubt it, they do not understand it.
Or when sentient beings doubt what they do not understand,
their doubt is not firmly fixed. Because of that, their past
doubts do not necessarily coincide with their present doubt.
Yet doubt itself is nothing but time."
Dogen - "Time Being"
Taking deep breaths, gazing at the nature of consciousness
as it unfolds up and down my body.
The clock no longer holds weight over my time.
Visions of molotov cocktails hidden in memories,
chanting, shields, rocks broken into smaller ones.
The cogs are looseing, the hands are falling apart.
Urgency as Air increases in density and prayers.
Water Canons, Hijabs, bloody lips. Freedom Mind.
Free me from these false hands of time.
Give me stillness. Deliver Forever so heavy to my eyelids
as if to begin a new History.
