...... ... .  . .  .  .
As It Is   [1]
Robert Aitken
[1] Title is added
 

 
Everything
just as it is,
as it is,
as is.
Flowers in bloom.
Nothing to add.
Nothing to reduce.
The entire world.
Hiroshima.
When people talk about war
I vow with all beings
to raise my voice in the chorus
and speak of original peace.
