Weight of Dust<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On a spring night when the peach blossoms scatter here and there
\nI built a campfire on a riverbank and cooked rice.
\nAbundant steam floated up from the cooking rice.
\nWhen it was about done, under the evening glow,
\nWater flowed slowly into the rice paddies across the river.<\/p>\n

Suddenly I remembered a crematorium in Nepal.
\n\u201cPop!\u201d
\n\u201cPop!\u201d
\nBrains were bursting in the flames.
\nDogs were licking brain matter scattered all around
\nAnd children were rummaging through heaps of red ashes, looking for pieces of gold.
\nAlthough it takes only two hours to turn a human being into ashes,
\nSometimes they threw half-burnt bodies into the river
\nBecause poor families did not have enough money to buy firewood.
\nThey always burnt the head first
\nAnd the two feet last.
\nBetween a head supporting thoughts
\nAnd two feet supporting the world,
\nI tried for a while to weigh which sustained life more, and I ended up collapsing like ashes.
\nFor a human being to arrive at the end of something,
\nAnd, there, finally
\nTo weigh the dust and return to the beginning\u2026<\/p>\n

Every evening on that riverbank, while the rice was boiling,
\nI committed sins like I composed poems
\nAnd I committed poems like I composed sins.
\nThe water in the rice paddy rose deeper today than it was in the river
\nAnd this is not just because of the detour I have taken.<\/p>\n
