according to Buddha
Like a cowherd driving cows off to the fields, so old age and death take away the years from the living.
we skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor…and so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face, at first just ghostly,
turned a whiter shade of pale
