Death Is Silence

The tree branches nod in slow cool air.
White blossom falls.
Distant metal chimes.
Smoke, delicate blueness.
Smooth water.

Peace, silence.
Nothingness.
Only those who remain forever unknown will attain perfect peace, a zero energy state.
Nothing can be forever unknown, no star, no atom, no neutrino, dark matter.

Orange cloth, the colour of energy.

Ripples. The wind is detected by the cloth. The cloth is detected by the wind.

Bashō sits here, restless.
He screams.
