noise at 3am
~ after Dōgen a long train is nothing like a mountain, holds it breath. a mountain is the evidence of time, not majestic but humble. a long train passes, makes time stand, at attention, never quick, fast. a mountain is not a situation, a long train arrives. a long train is the perfection of memory, forgetfulness. a mountain makes no claim, on sound, on light, exhales. ~april 2013 |
