LIBRA to LIBRAN

We know so well the tricks an’ traps

the egoic desire to please

and find the mutual balance -

but we don’t, can’t know where to look 

• except in the monkey mind

which is just a calculating machine.

It’s the body, the earth and ground

us head-in-airs need.

Though opposites can mix and meet 

they need triangularization to locate

- a solid tangential rule or truth 

to anchor to - beyond polarity.

When we look, feel and listen 

 - in this hum-drum physical reality -

to our bones, belly, feet,

what we eat and how we sleep:

the heart's own clarity,

every instant moment is quantum -

if we do but sense, harken: 

 our pulse and gut, peripheral vision

speaking innate truth - in-body,

on-hand, closer than the jugular

if only we attend.

Indeed,

 there is a doorway in the head

beyond the left or right cortexes.

A way to comprehend, define and process experience

not just hormonally or by deductive logic;

a pea-sized, crystalline transmitter

endocrinologist speculate -

the seat of the soul, some say.
