on a black tree in gray dawn
winds that can tear off
the stitched face of a scarecrow
who once believed in wheeled things

“Sakyamuni, Confucius, and Laotse once stood before a jar of vinegar—the emblem of life—and each dipped in his fingers to taste the brew. The matter-of-fact Confucius found it sour, the Buddha called it bitter, and Laotse pronounced it sweet.” —The Book of Tea

Sourceless anguish.
