I stand transfigured at a sliding door

comtemplating before my eyes

a lively green park.

Still I stand in empty tension

wanting nothing, needing nothing.

Knowing it.

But inside deep busy

endless desire craves

somthing to want

somthing to need.

Why can’t I be satisfied

with nothing to want

nothing to need?
