The poseur

The poseur                                                                                              

To become One you must first become two –
so say the mystics.  Disassociate yourself

from the poseur, become the nobody you are
and always have been.

From a hair’s breadth distance
view your old self,

separate enough to allow
any urgency to wane,

your every karma-generated impulse 
easily ignored, discarded

until you are without substance,
boundaries, weight or authority,

vulnerable enough for your dew-like
existence to be absorbed again

into the Oneness you always were
and have never been otherwise.

O child of God, you left out the vital part
about divine grace and leaping over one’s own head.
