Veil

A body is dissected
a cow chews the cud

Nature discloses itself to reason;
they are parts of each other

Here we are, foam on the sea of being,
and the ocean rich with fish

Will we one day convey
if we are speaking our DNA?

Let’s pull off the shirt of reason,
and his tie, and his boots

Hair, wet, nausea, light

Breathe without labelling

The five colours make a man blind
the five tones makes a man deaf

The unspeakable world

Suzuki is fidgeting somewhere,
blinking like a mouse,
rehearsing behind the veil of thoughts

And I, an insensitive, governed beast,
strapped to the back of the zodiac,
trawling our humanity
for facts

Undomesticated, a snow leopard
roams in Himalayan peaks
(wild but mute)
