Even nirvana must be empty. Even silent revelation must allow herself to be taken, afterward, by noise. Kept, perhaps, might be a few thoughts—the principles of salvation, maybe, easily incorporated orts soaked up, scooped with bread. Chewed, passed—as everything, habitually—disintegrated into in- visible fuel for the festering divisions. (Precisely those divisions sought to be stilled by breathing deeply, crossing the legs of, still, a body.) But even nirvana must be swallowed by the Buddha’s gaping mouth of transience. For afterward, must it not stay, still, the same? After achievement? Yes, I like to mock as I loll, in naivety, but I am also a talented nurturer of it. I know behind is something quite valuable. A transient irony, perhaps.
