I get what I deserve,
I can see it there in the mirror
looking back at me,
it seems its left is my right but it is
all just the same
reflection
it would be better
if I hadn’t brandished this ‘I’ about in the past
making it all right and powerful over others whenever I could,
simply ending up
with this pain in my
own neck …
it would be better if I
didn’t have this
I
from Bodhisattvacharyavatara chapter VI, verse 42: In previous lives and former times, I myself have subjected just such pain, suffering and torment on other sentient beings, therefore, it is only just and fitting that I, the former perpetrator, who distressed, wronged and harmed all these beings, deserve the return, that I become the attacked, that this becomes my lot.
