Infinite Dispersion Sheltering In Place, Its Harem Of Stones Poem by Warren Falcon

"Nihility is something that can appear from behind any experience...The field of nihility is such an infinite dispersion..." - Keiji Nishitani (of the Kyoto School of Philosophy) , Religion and Nothingness

for Low


In answer to

your question

of how I am

in my hermitage

behind the

mountain


I am safe

and sound

and not near

any danger

seen or

unseen


but for stray

spring flowers

daring snow

drift on the

steep ledge


enough to

disturb my

sleep


the brook's too


below


trembling

full of melt and

promise before

algae claims

its harem

of stones.
