BAMBOO
A dust bowl spinning from a bamboo goal
A centre that couldn't hold
A wrapped corpse floating on a bamboo raft
Set loose from a million souls
Atoms broken from worlds
And ink words burning in bamboo smoke
Never again to be heard.
But a heart beats in-out-in
Like breath
And what ends must begin
Like breath
And though a universe may spin
I can sit and sing
And coalesce .
A centre that couldn't hold
A wrapped corpse floating on a bamboo raft
Set loose from a million souls
Atoms broken from worlds
And ink words burning in bamboo smoke
Never again to be heard.
But a heart beats in-out-in
Like breath
And what ends must begin
Like breath
And though a universe may spin
I can sit and sing
And coalesce .
