by Yuan Changming
With a storm With a gull With your breath
Goes the thought With a vague vision Beyond the bogland
With your heart Hawking aloud in the wild With dripping blood
An unformed concept A shoal of consciousness Bubbling with feeling
With a photon With a quantum With your mind concentrated On a twisted other
