COUPLET




There are several versions of this poem written when Kim Sakkat had to sleep in the flue of the kitchen firehole. Whether this was possible I have no idea, but the poem and the firehole story occurs in a book of Kim Sakkat lore.



Nowhere under heaven’s broad expanse 

     can I lift my head with pride; 

in all the immensity of earth

     nowhere can I plant my foot.
