couplets from ikkyu:

poetry's hellish bullshit one good way to suffer men love it
men stupid as horses cows

raining or not
walk lifting your heavy wet sleeves

fuck flattery success money
all I do is lie back suck my thumb

my gray cat jumped up just as I lifted this spoon
we're born we die

hear the cruel no-answer until blood drips down
beat your head against the wall of it

you can't be anyone but you
therefore you are that Other one you love

thirsty you dream of water cold you want fire
not me I want the firm warm breasts and wetness of a woman

frogs at the bottom of a well like you idiot
thrashing in mud laughable so very very right

don't wait for the man standing in the snow
to cut off his arm help him now

I'm whole as long as I hear you singing
then emptiness when you stop

and the nights inside you rocking
smelling the odor of your thighs is everything

you stand inside me naked infinite love
the dawn bell rips my dreaming heart

nobody knows I'm a storm I'm
dawn on the mountain twilight on the town

no words sitting alone night in my hut eyes closed hands open
wisps of an unknown face
