an echo

Flowers: Seeing the foam-like nature of the body....
Dhammapada 4.46


the reflection of reflection
in a resounding eye
which when seen rings

repeatedly,

answers deliberately,

constructing

ideas, feelings

as an image of

one

in another, and so on,

duplications 

of the eye,

imperfect iterations

to be prized

no spitting image

instead a 

mirror washed wet,

an unwiped blur,

almost, almost

as close as

this sound, far off,

of a

common tree sparrow,

a large-billed crow
