’The Annunciation’ by Marpa
A man born from a flower in space
A man riding a colt foaled from a sterile mare
His reins are formed from the hare of a tortoise
A rabbit's horn for a dagger
He strikes down his enemies
A man without lips who is speaking
Who sees without eyes
A man without ears who listens
Who runs without legs
The sun and the moon dance
And blow trumpets
A young child touches
The wheel of the law
Which turns over
Secret of the body
:of the word
:of the heart of the gods
The inner breath is the horse of the bodhisattvas
Whipped by compassion
It rears
It drives the old yak
From the path of madness.
(Poem from 'Technicians of the Sacred', Jerome Rothenberg, Anchor Bks. 1969)
