Sunyata Poem by Suchoon Mo

Sunyata
by Suchoon Mo


1
the sound of a pebble
falling into the lake

the silence of descent
into the depth


2
my shooting star
have you come
or are you gone?


3
the bus has already left
everyone is gone
where is my home?


4
nirvana
the beginning ends
before it begins
the end with no beginning


5
excuse me sir
where is men's room?
it is raining outside


6
he removed his hat
before he bowed to her

he removed his false teeth
before he kissed her hand

he was respectful


7
first snow in the cemetery
I cremate dead wood
in a cast iron stove

8
a wild flower blooms
in the cemetery
a wild flower dies
in the cemetery


9
the bell tolls
the bell ringer has died
