The Four Noble Truths
(苦·集·灭·道)

Spring 2023

Sadness is the Echo of    …love.
A quiet string, perturbed by
incessant needs

The inquisitive one hops to avoid Disturbance
The timid drowns in their own tears, (O’ how delicious!)
The eloquent demands Silent acquiescence...
All this to entertain a crowd that
minds nobody’s business

Voices leaving space, leaving shores behind
Crashes: crumble;
ripples: Ripple!    And dusts...

...settle.

While a moon, stays stationery,

up , in the high sky,

gushing about how all this time: sadness is just —
   Love
