because the stone house
moves ∙ we worship ground
or wind blowing through bare trees
is unopposed ∙ imperialist ∙ with no
intent
then it is indifference ∙ not
failure ∙ that casts
any life : white blossoms
on the black branch
are frozen rain
or the cicada is encased in clear ice
or the voluptuous
spring storm : blue mountains
obscured by the dust
of a million human bodies
or being no one ∙ not two
I find myself vegetal ∙ dead wood
forgive my non differentiation
the sun caused this
or embers fading ∙ disassembled dream :
wild quail eating cooked
rice ; flicker digging ants ;
larva burrowing tongue :
to cause the least suffering
we strive ∙ starve
no worship ∙ all worship
or one petal veers violet
