soul's opus
"you must have life coming out of you."
—kazuo ohno
you must not take along, but take
within, and let flood colors self-
refracting,
for the soul reaches out of itself
yet remains itself, desires to touch
abyss aeternal.
as chaos,
so cosmos.
your god seeks a new face to clothe
his eternal nakedness.
it must be faithful to your soul,
and worn to be expressly worn out.
this alone can fulfill: when you are
rags and tatters – and then,
dissolved entirely.
