THOUGHTS DURING MEDITATION

When they arrive

drunk and stumbling

across the dance floor

during the toast,

crashing a wedding 

they weren’t invited to, 

pay them no mind. Return

 your attention to

the empty plate

in front of you

and know that 

this white porcelain  

disc of nothingness

is the meal

the Bride and Groom 

ordered, had catered

especially for you - the guest

who came with

an insufferable and insatiable

hunger in their heart,

hoping to meet, 

quite by accident,

their Beloved

to be.
