Blunting the edges

 

One cannot undo

the prongs of pain and agony

by putting pleasure and luxury

on the sharp points,

You can’t cover a trishula’s sharp edges,

We keep them sharp if we do so,

But there is a technique

that can dismantle these

piercing prongs of pain,

It’s the rust of indifference,

Apathy to pleasure and luxury

would naturally rust and blunt

the edges of pain.
