                                              Nostalgia for Samsara¹

                look of faces, face of look and the fidgeting
                curls and weave of sight between the walls

                where children watch elders reclined and
                solemn-veiled beneath laughter and barter,

                bittersweet-inured to their shamèd Have and
                wanton squander amid scattered teak rubble

 

seen what shouldn’t have been seen because it couldn’t be noticed: Wild-Eyed Boy from Freecloud, 1969
¹ one of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s phrases
