    A self-reliant bird
    knocked again on my windows

    And the accident
    comes from another arduous experiment

    The bird
    wonders why he can not fly.
    There is no polite way
    of being happy

    Tangled lines
    mean
    no fish
    for us tonight
    nice!


    take one
    take all
    yours is the haul!

    Earrings penetrated the flesh
    whispering love to me
    There is no polite way
    of being happy

    Don't make snowballs
    unless
    you can run fast
    Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty

    You know, the birds are really cute - they often make big and sudden noises on my windows!



    Ride the snowball we
    made and run faster!

    destructive tendencies
    sluice and surrender
    shadowy crepe dreams

    ultimately
    it stops raining
    mazes transform
    into flowers.

    chaos won't end
    peace won't prevail
    until death.
