Epiphany

While science may process each ore Into a spiritual coin, only art can offer You the right tool to dig it, refine it Inside vs Outside Even if, as you choose You are already deep inside The circle, inside The trend, inside The office, inside The fashion, inside Her body, inside Their book, inside Its record, inside Our archive, inside Your heart, or even inside The very core, your inner being Is still lingering in the outside The way I always prefer To see, to watch, to think Spiritual Physics Few are really aware of Such universes Existing beyond our own Even fewer of so many other versions Of selfhood living In each of them, let alone This simple secret: At the depth of consciousness Lives a quantum Or soul as we prefer to call it A particle, demon and/or angel dancing The same dance afar, far apart In an entanglement Multi-Mouthed Bird With as many as Seven throats, the bird Keeps singing aloud So incongruously But like the starlight from Another universe, the songs from The one and same heart have Never reached humans yet Yuan Changming, nine-time Pushcart and two-time Best of the Net nominee, grew up in rural China and published monographs on translation before moving to Canada.
