Attempt #36 at a Zen Circle

As Durer or Blake
I would release the line
engraving cedar
with a gryphon's vicious, noble truth
or like Michelangelo
unfurl a spine from stone
giving warmth to the cold.
Achieving no-mind
with conscious intent
I would naturalize my brushstroke
& the immigrant's family---
two girls
chartreuse & robin's egg blue bows in their hair,
Neruda in their future.
My hand wouldn't waver.
