Yin and Yang

A little bit zen again (or taoist I guess)...nothing can exist without its opposite...

Yin and Yang

To catch your reflection in
    a stinking puddle
      muck mirror image
         and the pristine sky behind

Or glimpse a road kill
    in full stench, its architecture
         peeping through its skin
             amid the gently blowing roadside grass

To thrill to see a hawk
     snatch up its prey
          yet know the converse agony
               of beak-ripped dying flesh

To see the ugliness and beauty
      the life and death entwined
          and know its seamless unity
               Designerless design
