\nIn a speck of bumble bee
\nis vast;
\nshe bats herself
\nagainst a pane of glass.
\nI catch this fireball in a drinking cup
\nand like a bomber jet
\nshe plunges into endless blue.
\nMy breath is caught
\nat this tracing truth
\nso gracefully deployed,
\nthat we are always free
\nwithout the intermediary
\nof thought,
\nno pane of glass to bang
\nour brains against,
\nonly this vast heart
\nof open space<\/p>\n
