..................................... 2. Shaman at the Door of the Forest

The Chinese Marble Game

A Child

alone with the ancient sea

listens

to the gentle winds

shorelines and plum trees

and the colors of Chinese marbles

drift within the cactus sea

Oh Winter sea

the child yells

Oh sea of Spring

why this warlike world

can we not just live

with Chinese marbles and honey seas

The sea began to dance

before the child's eyes

roses filled the sea

with laughter

the roses turned to blood

with no reflection

to this dark sky

the children of this world

ask Why

do you leave us

with blood-filled seas
