And it is just, indeed,
defilement dissolves,
the incense stick burns,
before morality,
remains,
floating away,
mere dust… on the breeze.

“I know that angel blooms…,”1 and that
“voice is <never|eternalism-view> still,”1 such is the
flow of samsara, yet

still, calm, absorbed
the moon shines,
radiant,

can <self-view|other-view> see it?

distant, the sun, and the sage of the
brethren of it? at last, “in your
boots out there, have you
been kicking…
in the,
desert sand,”1 of
course, …
or fine
floating away,
like dust… on the breeze.
