Reaching the Bottom


I can see the bottom of a creek.
I can touch the bottom of a stream.
I can swim to the bottom of a river.
I can dive to the bottom of the sea.
How do I reach the bottom of the Tao?

I open, a bloom:
the honeybee lights on me,
touches the inmost.
When I receive, I'm carried
forth from myself, and give life.

There is no bottom
Each floor gives way
To another beneath it
Until there is no floor
Only a rural highway
Or cardboard boxes
Beneath an underpass
Where cold winds knife through
With the Arkansas River
For temptation
