A Tortoise
A Tortoise
By Stina Lu
You keep silent,
In all seasons.
Like the Buddist,
Meditating
Even your breath
seems redundant.
You reject everything
Food or water.
Your are blind
Smell the direction and danger
You desire for nothing
Not care life or death
You're Diogenes,
Stand in Plato's Utopia.
You represent the beauty and justice of Socrates,
Your shadow is the absolute Geist of Hegel.
You're a little philosopher
On my balcony
