leaving the trunk to search among the twigs
all you get is stupid
Han-shan (Cold Mountain): Here's a message for the faithful (trans. Red Pine)
if I leave the trunk it will be
to swan-dive among the leaves
to submit to the embrace of air
to seek the vastness of roots
and if I get a crack on the head
then that's what I get, Han-shan
