KOAN
walking without tracks
I moved
beneath a torn sky
lame of light
passing the lacquered skull
bonded to its talisman’s
forgery
finding shamans
with blunt knives
eating the blame
watching
each sacred breath
tarnish bodies
aging fates
gaunt thieves hover
keyless
before nirvana
I enter
through the single crack
where
paradox explodes
unveiling
The Hidden way
