when we sleeping, awake

and what was i doing
while it burned?

and you,
what were you doing?

dharma gate

sometimes/
breaking/

the sorrow of the world/
rushes/

its wild flood waters/
the breadth of human hearts/
the length of time/

its refuse minutia/
gathering the greyed rushing waters/
its beauty/

the fractured ice gate/
of our heart/
