pauses-and-silences:

cosmos flowers at sunset by Yen Hung Lin
(borrowed for Tsujii Takashi’s “Cosmos”)


Within unfathomable illusions
the cosmos become birds
Holding up the flock of pink flowers
are their tremulous stems
the sunset glow that scorches thought
a hushed heaviness    and
a repetition that cannot be named

— Tsujii Takashi, from “Cosmos
