Chess On Question Mark Poem by Nyein Way(Maung Maung Thein)

Chess On Question Mark

CHESS ON NOSETRIL

Alarm Clock Of Life
Nails on candles in the wind of change
One nail makes music of humanity and of posthuman possibilities out of ethical_critical_reflective_reflexive by dropping to ground not as fall but as nausea_ed light out of cracked darkness of universal truth hidden discourse
Who will stop the snow and the rain and the flooded mind? ? ?
The answer.
The question.
The maze

The gaze.
Be simple in impossible obliberation from deepest fear and strongest sense of anxiety.
The age.
The truth.
The sun also rises.
When the sun rises, the moon rises, too.
New circuit of reality revolving depth and subtle earth.
Be.
Being.
Becoming.
No dots.
Liberation wisdom tale of less than nothingness.
