Chapter 13 ancient temple
ancient temple
disappearing bell
Cobwebbed, in cracked pillars
Diffusion into a circle of growth rings
no memory, stone
Echoes echoing in empty valleys
stone, no memory
when the path goes around here
The dragon and the strange bird also flew away
Take the dumb bell from the eaves
wild grass annual
grow so indifferent
indifferent to their subservient masters
Monk's cloth shoes, or the wind
The stele is incomplete, and the words on it have been worn away
as if only in a fire
to recognize, perhaps
will follow the eyes of the living
Turtle resurrected in the dirt
Climb over the threshold with a heavy load of secrets
