Archestructures The Art and Poetry of Shi Chuan Kong
Withering Flowers
|
|
Withered flowers Die and live, live and die; Seamless unfolding.
|
Thalassa
|
|
A southern cloud Now covers the whole earth; Compassionate rain.
|
Songthrush
|
|
Old and motionless- Songthrush with fluffed feathers; Written in black ink.
|
Deep Alchemy
|
|
Looking deeper still Within; the ancient mirror, Gone, suddenly gone.
|
Momonkan
|
|
Dripping ambrosia, Iridescent humming bird; Glad song in the ear.
|
Mu #2
|
|
Even emptiness Empties itself inside out; Our cups overflow!
|
Mu
|
|
Now this new bright face Shines in the emptiness; Thus! All is so clear.
|
Hanging Garden (emptiness)
|
What are all these marks? Thus comes the Tathagata; Bright hanging garden.
