Form in Anger - Zou Shengnian / 作者/邹胜念 The Buddha has a form in anger. / They call it the Vajra. / The greater the anger, the greater the power, / the greater his strength for conquering demons… /
The Other - Zou Shengnian / 邹 胜 念 When language fails, the other … is born. / The night breeze blows to the other side of silence / – to a riverbank, where each tree is another tree, / branches shifting red and gold, hollowing out / the sun’s afterglow, until the water sinks into a drifting dusk. /
The Still Vase - Zou Shengnian / 作者/邹胜念 Because my heart is restless, / this vase cannot be still. / It is a vessel waiting to break and / shatter me and / condemn the flowers and / expose the lie that lies beneath / all bounded beauty. /
