12. YOUTH
I look through the big 
windows at the airport 
again,
far from home 
in 2014, 
disconnected and young.
In my bag, 
a book of zen poems
that I read and re-read.
They all say:
Don't worry.  
Dreamed dust is always blowing.
All this is a veil.

The veil of youth 
is lifting in me constantly.
Far from home again
while everything is 
born by my eye.
Only now and this
airport window and 
whatever I see.
The dissolving 
youth of things 
is shown as emptiness 
dressed up as spring.

All million colors
and everyone I've known
passing through a mind
and it's this same mind 
that was born,

wild and empty, 
wailing in electric lights 
since birth.
Far from home at last,
and I'm still trying 
to let the spring emerge
from beneath 
every thought
unknown and vast
but my youth and 
self assurance fill the sky.
There's no moon, 
my young mind thinks,
in a totally black night sky.
But there is a moon.
