yes, it is better to be unknowing
simple to the point of all is needed
or wanted is food and shelter and
a river that flows near for at night
i would listen to its movement like
siddhārtha or a peal buck her·o·ine
the rest of the world would sleep
& not know the river moved - time
and love would be no enemies - no
marriage but a freedom where in
my bed i would stay awake until it
once again became warm enough
to stand - my lover deep in sleep
his breath in rhythm to the river -
it is better not to know where a pebble travels - its life enough
