2019, 7*, Amsterdam, boats, buildings, canal, cause and effect, dome, facade, leaves, living, passing, phantom, possession, Spring, time
everything is caused by something, which
something is caused by something else, nothing
stands alone where all pass as phantoms
from the canal boat
spring leaves turn before
centuries of storey
facades pass fixed
in blanked pageant,
with protruding girder
with which to reach-in
with what to stay and
intermittent egress
whose iron pins will hold
the sides, and only domes
will not turn
a trip through the canals of Amsterdam where the audio commentary didn’t work forcing the mute passing buildings to do the work instead; the title is from Bodhisattvacharyavatara VI, 31
