or rather
halfway up hill
none too warm
a bit on chilly side one might say
by road
flowers fade fall
spring autumn pass
all must become dust
grown old in instant
hair turned white
face form alter
never still
misty
changing moon
full sphere
appears here
pearl that
shines mirror
or lamp in damp
dawn dew soaked leaves of grass
been meaning to write this down
used to consult Book of Changes
Dao and Buddha
Confucius confusion
books don't save from death
hobo clown cloud-hidden breath
poor & cold now winter approaching soon
not so far from cave to grave
(Love)
a translation of buddha's flower sermon
a child laments the passing of time
