Go Giryeodo, painted by Kim Myeong-guk maybe in 1650 radiating a story, still today riding the donkey trees behind the mountain track treacherous Go Giryeodo mind clear and attentive to all that is There is no mind here that is obsessed by sin and sharpened doctrines like the ones on the other side of the world Detached and collected rides Giryeodo There is no sense of destiny or ambition to reach Heaven There is no Theology, no Thick Books that attract Thick Heads Giryeodo rides Donkey at its own pace free, no encumbrance, no demands there is no Book, there is no Text there is no authority or Weight that fills The mind of the rider Go Giryeodo, painted by Kim Myeong-guk no perversions of religion and conversion that fills the minds of those on the other side of the world Fills them like the Devil fills their Books and Speeches Gentle, uncaring, no sense of timing riding since 1650, perhaps before riding perhaps into timeless-ness Not caring for an end of time go Giryeodo, painted by Kim Myeong-guk riding the donkey riding the donkey trees behind the mountain track treacherous
poem based on "Giryeodo" painted by Kim Myeong-guk, 1650 in the Joeon Dynasty
