I may have a thousand hands but that doesn’t make me a Bodhisattva – in fact, the only things my hands are good for are mundane things, practical tasks, not spiritual enlightenment.

A catalogue of tongues inside the Buddha’s room, that place it seemed impossible to leave, a space created by two dim machines under the tongue of a slippery moon. The tongue of a moon that licks the shore, that space where two melodies meet and form a zero, a name for the unwritten body floating…
