Emptiness gave birth to the sea snail.
The sea snail to the volcanic island.
The volcanic island to the crested lizard.
The crested lizard to the Milker of the Clouds.
The Milker of the Clouds to the Honey Thief.
The Honey Thief to the Builder of Cities.
The Builder of Cities to the Tax Collector.
The Tax Collector to the Destroyer of Fortresses.
The Destroyer of Fortresses to twenty thousand tanks.
The twenty thousand tanks were barren
and couldn’t give birth to anything.
And so once more emptiness settled in,
wondering if there was any point
in starting all over again from the beginning.
Bad Dreams
