The river never moves
Slithering
Snake steps like a tortoise
while leaving traces
The river shows the way out

The old river water
falls over the dam
leaving behind shining smiles
to look at the eggs
The river shows us the EXIT

We don't know
The joy in hardship
Sandy fields
We are here for you
for you. What a beautiful breath!

Even if you only blink your eyes
The river, the old river,
the old river stir
The unwavering sea and the stars
and says, ‘Why do you love me?’

Love shines through talent
Love is not made like that
It is a shining thing in itself

Talent are for love
It is not love for talent
It is not a shining light in itself.

In open of the river
    to the sea of orchestra
With future of present
    in her coolness

In close of the skies
    to the heaven of orchestra
With past of present
    in her warmness.

The only thing more important than writing is reading
More important than reading is thinking
More important than thinking is experiencing

The experience of experiences is historical grief.

person's truth
present not
in rejoicing but
in repenting.

Ideology kills philosopher
Auteurism kills literati
Vegetarianism kills vegetarians.

small trees
in a field of yellow grass
Nearby
bending and
the shadows of old trees
curved and dried up
covering the grass
Over it
Emptiness flies
with the arrow of Vulcan
gray winds colors the sky
And a labor-exhausted man
sits down
with his right elbow on his left knee
and watches the hours
of the deepening nightmare
with someone else
among the scattering snowflakes.
