Allow the nuanced rose
to grow behind your face.
Or somewhere in Europe.
Walk up to the orchestra
pit and declare,
I found that essence rare.
Johnny Yip lets Johnny Yen
carry him over the threshold
and name the electric poodle.
It’s nice to pick someone
else’s scab for a change.
Make small talk with the fellas
as they tend their garden.
Praise Berlin and its underground.
Praise the word of mouth.
Praise the loud, distorted
announcement that your pictures
are ready to pick up at the kiosk.

The focus of "The BeZine," a publication of The Bardo Group Beguines, is on sacred space (common ground) as it is expressed through the arts. Our work covers a range of topics: spirituality, life, death, personal experience, culture, current events, history, art, and photography and film. We share work here that is representative of universal human values however differently they might be expressed in our varied religions and cultures. We feel that our art and our Internet-facilitated social connection offer a means to see one another in our simple humanity, as brothers and sisters, and not as “other.” This is a space where we hope you’ll delight in learning how much you have in common with “other” peoples. We hope that your visits here will help you to love (respect) not fear. For more see our Info/Mission Statement Page.
