Its me

Made to punish men for their sins
The smoothest skin
The longest black hair?
All that
Is me!

Fabric of every day world

My skin is so soft
Fresh from my bath
It pains me to see it touched
Covered by the fabric
Of an everyday world

Peach Blossom

No camelia
Not plum for me,
No flower that is white,
Peach blossom has a color
That does not ask my sings.

Observers

Knowledge is not reality
Experience belongs to the past
Let those who lack immediacy be silent
Let observers be content to observe
