Now lift the knife,
Now plunge it into the heart.
Lift the knife and plunge it in.
The point breaks in all barriers
because it is nothing,
penetrating all things.
Piercing deeper,
its reverberation emanating
from ever-deeper levels
shatters bonds in subtler and subtler places,
and all begins to crack apart
from the inside out.
At last it all dissolves in smoke,
and then in air,
leaving everything clear
and unspoken.
