What a waste—of time
The rest has been

Here
I die—

A new born baby

Ok, I learned that a Jisei No Ku is a death poem one writes before dying.

And with this knowledge I can appreciate your words.

Death indeed imo is a new birth.

Love,

Margherita,

Yah, I was reading a Zen page
and just fell in with a bad crowd.

Thanks for reading.
