It's in free verse, or at least rather loose verse, for "poeting" is one of the interests we share. Another is the Buddhadharma and for me especially perhaps, the close parallels with the Jesusdharma. Your poem citing the Chariot reminds me of Ezekiel, and your lines --
>>Chained and bound like Marley’s ghost, with stuff that we acquire.

vividly evokes for me the image of the repentant Spanish conquistador (later Jesuit) in the film "The Mission", dragging a cargo-net full of his old armor up the face of the waterfall. Very nicely done! I'm looking forward to more discussion !
