Looking Through
Man is trapped in his self
Main main. (I …I)
When this trap breaks
It is you… you.
There are very few
Who go beyond this extremity
When main (I) and you cease
It is He He He…
Actually it is He who existed
Before Main (I) and You
And He will stay
When I and You are blown away
You are the Buddha
If you can see through
Your own face
Or in the face of you.
