means to an end

saw hammer drill

needle and tongs

are there any tools

that weren’t from the beginning

misused for torture and killing

throw away the tools

even the nails on your fingers

can scratch

and about the tongue

the chinese have a saying,

it can pulverize a person

is there not some means that peace

can call its own

erect a house

made of blossom petals

and bird down

capacious as a dream

and no one will live in it

all we have is

what keeps its form

to hold something together

you must use force

even for peace
