The Worship of Emptiness

Although neither the Hanging Gardens of Babylon nor the Black Hole of outer space,

I am not the perfect type of that straggling thing which levitates in the void.

I like the experiment of an empty heart and soul,

In the definition of emptiness, too, lies hidden

The mental affliction of worldly happiness or

The conclusion of earthly delightfulness.
