THE RHETORIC OF THE CINNABAR
In his youth he was an intellectual macho
Then he read a wicked book and fell into depression.
The author was a suicidal boy close to graduation.
According to him we are all falling bodies
Attracted by the gravity of the future,
Saved by the extinction in the present.
For this he was nicknamed Buddha of the West
But the primal illuminated saved our guy:
If you think about your extinction, it is already not extinction.
He embraced this truth becoming a no-smile Buddha.

"Hello, Davut, I feel this is directed to a specific person, and I imagine it is spot on. The word "capturing" feels like the soul of the poem. Intriguing. Thank you, L" -

"i cannot find fault with the brevity, but more substantial lines could definitely add heft to an idea barely expounded, but certainly elaboration would be beneficial to flesh out the notion of what spurred this poem in…" -
