kaishakunin

[January 4 1984]

 

The lock turns,

and it can be seen to have three parts

Sealed round,

as yang seals yin, and yin seals yang

perfectly closed

alike to mind and loving eye.

inside:               the red warrior

                               the red lion

                               the raging clown

 

waiting to spring,  like a jack-in-the-box

to the sword’s point.
