Buddha

I.

White music before
I was born.

I never see the sun
go down.

Once it slips below
the thin line of horizon

it settles within my body -
glowing, empty.

II.

To know the moon
you must learn the taste
of your own tongue.

To know the ocean
you must give birth
a thousand times, and still
admit you know nothing.

To know the wind
you must embrace all
your cycles - going, going, going...
