I heard that you can
unfold all the ribbons
binding your true nature, one
by one, unravelling them, sometimes
just loosening them a bit, tugging
on their middles and edges,
at times with great force
(but usually with a middling kind of pressure)
and that when those ribbons
are lying of the floor of
non-origination
you can see your true face
and it shines.
It shines.
You can do
this with the fingers of awareness
and the scissors of wisdom,
I heard.
That true face:
maybe it overwhelms the world
like the sun and the moon
coming together
at last.
