these feelings
afflict me constantly
like a persistent chest cold
and there is Mara
and Mara has power over my dreams
I am not hungry enough
I do not embrace agony
Ān Shǐ Zhīluàn
and the lord of
the middle kingdom
loses the mandate
of heaven to
Trisong Detsen
of that backwater
Tubo
he is without place and without
rage
but he is vengeful
and spiteful
and craves the wine
of life
a god of indigo and honey
Mara
has suzreignity
over my nightmares
thunder
in a blight red sky
the beleaguered Tang
rage against
the Xuanzong Emperor
for his
credulousness
regarding those he
trusted
in the North
why must the Middle Kingdom
suffer for one Emperor’s folly?
