Four lotuses

Description
-
A concrete poem which uses the words "human" (คน), "water" (น้ำ), and "mud" (เลน) as semantic motifs, with the word "human" representing lotuses at different stages of development—mired in the earth, submerged underwater, breaking the surface, fully emergent—alluding to the Buddhist metaphor for varying levels of enlightenment.
