ikkyu – satomipoema

I’ve burnt all the holy pages I used to carry

but poems flare in my heart

– Ikkyu – Crow With No Mouth :

Art : Tony Toste aka. Antonio

for us no difference between reading eating singing

making love not one thing or the other

– Ikkyu –

flowers are silent

silence is silent

the mind is a silent flower

the silent flower of the world opens

– Ikkyu –

Having no destination,

I am never lost.

– Ikkyu –

I’ve burnt all the holy pages I used to carry

but poems flare in my heart

– Ikkyu – Crow With No Mouth :

Ikkyu : Fifteenth Century Zen Master

I’d love to give you something

but what would help?

– Ikkyu – Crow with No Mouth

Like vanishing dew,

a passing apparition

or the sudden flash

of lightning – already gone –

thus should one regard one’s self.

– Ikkyu –
