Here and Gone


Before this eyeless I,
Time suddenly stopped flowing;
Upstream and downstream folded together
In the embrace of an instant,
And I could see her exist and incist
In a single pulse;
Bursting open in form and
Swallowed back in the void,
In the same breath;


Before the I-less eye,
The seed and the flower were one,
The streaming life suspended
In a simultaneous ebb and flow,
The door of birth and that of death
Sharing the same threshold;
My I-less child,
Here and gone,
Out of time.
