The
work of Zen is to reach the ground of being, to perceive the true
nature of the self, which, as it turns our, is a phantom. This is also
the work of poetry, at least for me: to erode the membrane between self
and the world, so that a newly innocent consciousness can emerge, one
that sees what it sees without commentary, analysis, or judgment.
