Illusions of Time

Painting from Kazuya Akimoto Art Museum

Illusions of Time

as Chuang Tzu dreams

am I a man
dreaming I'm a butterfly,
or a butterfly
dreaming I'm a man?

am I eleven
on my face,
or nine
from inside out?

hour hand dreams
circle time,
fading
time,

fragments and
reflections
on the
glass.
