the bathroom break

spontaneously
ghostly animated
yantras form
on the sharkskin gray
tile floor
unmistakably
true triangles dance
in close proximity
and diaphanous palimpsest
created by the unlikely passing
of photons through the reticulation
of the natural weave
of the small high window's drapery

in reflecting on this in silence
i consider the monk's consideration
of the light of buddha
as it passes through the vicissitudes
of samsara and karma
as the author
of the yantric presence

a living symbol of contemplation
making known the transcendence
of reflection through the negativity
of projection
