Poems of T’ai Chi Chih

1.
Silence movement silence
breath – river turning
the mountain trembles

2.
A door flutters in the wind
I open the door
walk inside
look around
walk faster
break into a run
running running
laughing laughing
letting go
go go
gone.

3.
a tension / attention

4.
Into the mouth of a dark strange cave
shoots an arrow.
I am that unexplored cave.
I am the arrow that pierces the darkness.
I am the bow, the vehicle, the conveyor.
The arch has no name,
nor a body that can be described.

5.
So it is with a fire
that the individual pieces of wood
need first be placed at a certain distance.
After being ignited
then will bringing them together
enhance the collective flame.
