Zen Barbarian

"Embrace losing the ability to embrace"

I never found peace by getting action,
But I made the bitter attempt.
Liberation for brutes, short and nasty,
A rage as infinite as the scrolling.

Long nights with hours punctuated by ice
Cubes and the divine presence of blue light.
Wishing instead to be the riverman,
To be in place, apart from here.

Embrace losing the ability to
Embrace. Un-become. Spark the logs.
And the logos.
Burn down the house of life and death.
