PREFACE

Preface Like Zhao Mengfu trapped in the Net of dust
we be for these poor non-beings be these poems of desire to entrap thee
tangle thee up in the words of me all caught for thousands of years in these clumsy metaphors of me
oh climb high thee who seek the spiritual light by into the void of dark nothing be diving
ast sayeth the sage
“empty of desire perceive mystery
Filled with desire perceive manifestations”
These poems be
“the gateway into mystery”
