DOWN WITH THE LOTUS ROOT
Deep deep down
Among the reeds
And the lotus root
You will find me
Heart torn open
Head bowed down
This water, this ocean, this rain
Is mine, my tears, my grief, my sorrow
Weeping for the whole thing
Existence itself and everything in it
Nothing to be done
No placating sympathy
Or quiet words of support
‘It’s ok my love you will be alright,’
There is nothing wrong
That needs changing or fixing
I am here
Deep deep down
With the lotus root
All is as it is.
