Villanelle: the Dilemma of the Non-Violent - 60

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 60

Interplay of positive-negative current
How Nature alternates through light and darkness
Three hundred and eighty-four times made recurrent

All symbols of family diverse in content
Father Mother Three Brothers Three Sisters in harness
Interplay of positive-negative current

Lunar year split into two neither non-violent
Both sparking each other from out of loneliness
Three hundred and eighty-four times made recurrent

In sixty-four general images latent
Interpersonal relations contorted mess
Interplay of positive-negative current

Myriad chess-board movements create more content
From dark swirling wild quark masses sparking brightness
Three hundred and eighty-four times made recurrent

Yi Jing charts infinite conflicts’ criss-cross current
Shows the right path out of shut dangerous darkness
Interplay of positive-negative current
Three hundred and eighty-four times made recurrent
