Sharp shadow friends
An endless summer.
Memories
intoxicate.
Home sober.

Catching Raindrops
Down to the river
to catch raindrops
all the while
dripping wet, soaked
to the bone-marrow.
No Magic Bullets
Magic bullets
technique or practice
absolutely cannot
penetrate
Emptiness
Every now and then
Every now and then
a bend in the road
a twist of the path
and just for a moment
The Truth is true.

Ancient sages left their works behind, not to let us know
About themselves, but to help us understand our own stamp.
