Mu Poem by RIC BASTASA

Japanese film director Yasujiro Ozu's grave only has the inscription of the Japanese character 'mu, ' which means 'nothingness.'

shall i say that
i have been there
and found the same
thing too...

it was all
mu.

but anyway
we who are still here
have to move on
to the next chapters

still searching
for the
non-mu.

who knows?

something to touch
and keep burning
in our fingers

someone to hug and
keep this life
moving

something to live for
that quintessence
that we must have
to put some meaning
on those walls
