"Though one were to tend the sacrificial fire for a hundred years in the forest, if another were to pay homage to a single inwardly perfected person, for just a moment, that homage is better than a hundred years of sacrifice."
Dhammapada 8.107



Moon waning crescent
cold air, clear
here
a warm room
there
under the window
an intersection
one black wheeled figure crossing

as if
an inward solitude had split open
to reveal
someone
unknown
moving away from you.
