A fool...

I watch unmoved as waves recede and Dharma
gates fall into disrepair,
I draw a circle on the ground within which
I will hide myself away.
Suddenly the summer begins to draw to 
a close, and fall comes again:
It is only recently that I have mastered the art
of being a complete fool.

/ Yi- k`uei (1625 - 1679) /
