Volume I: Sultanah Haryati, Great Mother of Rempah.

Seeing the Thousand Fold

Life is Suffering

The treasures of life are in your eyes. Mahanavika Buddhagupta, great navigator

Split me across the unseen waves

let me dock upon the river of eyes

waver not until She comes forth

She be death be love be the billion winks

a butterfly is immortal, and we are liars

Oh, day cracks and petals withers

Guide us to the noble path and the twelve Nidanas

I am nothing but one of the moon’s advisors

Here, upon this temple of the Forgotten Candi, all songs, dead or alive shoot upward, all souls wander amidst the fabric of the billions bits of Her universe.
