Streams

“From where do streams recoil?¹

Where does the cycle spin no more?²

Where does name and form

cease with no residue left behind?”

“Where water and earth,

fire and air have no footing—³

from here the streams recoil;

here the cycle spins no more;⁴

here name and form

cease with no residue left behind.”⁵
