The Hole In The Universe



words from Adi Da's The Mummery Book
performance: January, 1995— Naitauba
(with Adi Da attending)
music by Chris Tong
(rough cut from the rehearsal tape)
 

The Hole in the universe,
Stands —
before the mind.
Oranges,
in a napkin.
The Shape of the Room —
when eyes are closed.
Raymond.
Darling.
Bright Heart.
Stone and Mirror —
of the Real.
Knee of Listening.
Lights
behind the head.
The Sphere of temperatures.
Green
Is here.
Round —
forest,
No blue "thing".
Raymond Darling.
Rising out of the Heart —
The Visibles
Sliding underground.
The "Oh!" of Pleasure,
Draws You up.
Your heel,
Your thighs,
Your feeling-shoulders.
The "I"
of Space
Pours out
the Hollow Blossom —
in Your ears.
