When deep into illusoriness
I find out the truth;
the distant outline of a hill
shrouded in the evening fog,
the sleeping village at its foot
and the amusingly tiny palmyrah trees
interspersed between the few huts

all the world spins;
deep in the swirling current

eyes sinking, sinking with each revolution
I revolve
till I know I am flat on the ground.
