the tattered kite
looks up in vain
the sky holds no memory
of its soaring flight
earth with water moulded
baked in fiery kilns
countless pots fashioned
and smashed each day
so hold your joy gently
bury sorrow in shallow grave
in your passage of numbered breaths
on the streets of this world
walk softly, walk slowly
walk with light steps
