Cleanse the past of winter
the lens of perception
allows visions to spring
Leap forth green as the leaves
the pulsebeat of nature
buzzing with bumblebees
East with the rising sun
touching the horizon
as if on the tangent
Asia explodes with ants
the same size as humans
seen from above to bring
Nothing but emptiness
oblique contradictions
abstract morality
Indians breed karma
as hopelessness and hope
both rolled up in their sleeves
Nippon lost both the war
and her capacity
to fight for heaven sent
Gendarmes to the teeth
battle born the future
they invent from their past
Sinologists with ears
closely touching the rails
watch as humanity
Pucker their lips to kiss
the ancient texts goodbye
bury ancestral ghosts
Russians divide their time
between eleven zones
where Putin reigns supreme
Injustice as Stalin
never knew the dead hear
the President take oaths
Noble Arabs take heed
the scent of jasmine leaps
from tea cups into dreams
Grozny in Chechnya
how terrible it seems
the future cannot last
