Mire & Moonlight
some flowers only blossom in mire and moonlight
Wu wei distilled into language. Poems written from radical presence — not about what remains after the self dissolves, but from it.
unnamed unborn sit stand move effort ceases no narrator no witness no method no goal raw perception life lives itself "I" appears — let it just this
無為
beside a green pond ripples remind me nowhere but now
this body is a flute warm wind breathes through hollow bones sea of bamboo sways in the breeze the song of no place
falling snow bends tree river frozen morning silence no flowers no fruit perfect harvest
dark graveyard the earth here is mud soaked by yesterday's rain my feet sink as I walk yet the stars are the only light I need to dance on my grave some flowers only blossom in mire and moonlight
The full collection
Mire & Moonlight is a curated collection of 34 poems on presence, constraint, and dissolution. Released freely under Creative Commons, because poetry — like methodology — should flow without gatekeepers.
Core principles: radical presence, extreme compression. Trust the image. White space as text. Endings that dissolve.
The poetry and the infrastructure come from the same place: a brain that runs on fascination, not discipline.
