Kala Ramesh

Shunyata

—The Void

I’m frantic … for space … to squeeze in the things I need to store, hoard and save for posterity … until the room, the cupboard I’m searching for, says “enough. stop.” 

Huh. What? To be uncluttered in one’s mind. 
Have you gone bonkers? 
Don’t you know there is no mind in the absence of thoughts? 

time 
riding on time 
the pendulum 
       moves 
            with autumn tide
