today

yesterday,
besieged on all sides,
I attempted escape.
today lao tzu suggested surrender.
finally, finally, fool of a man!

there is only darkness still
but your voice is as unequivocal as it is hidden:
the darkness will thicken, you say.
blinded, how can I walk?
you must be my eyes.

this way cannot be a way of knowledge:
today's treasure is only tomorrow's unbearable burden
