Woke to a world of silence and mist
Everything arbitrary.
A dusting jade covers the ground,
buries blue mountains.
Torn between safety and danger
We are miles from anywhere
Orbed by a waining moon
It pierces the bones, silence prevails.
Softness of the landscape,
the pain of the weather.
sluggish thinking, amnesia,
uncontrollable laughter.
Breathe in the picture
a mirror, a bleating cry
accompanies the sun,
swallows the blame.
