Reading Ryokan again last night and found this verse. To my foolish mind it's like a riddle.

My hand holds a cane made of rabbit horn.
My body is wrapped with a robe of flowers in the sky.
My feet are clad in shoes made of tortoise hair.
My lips chant a poem of no sound.
I have no idea what this means. Maybe it has no meaning?

Thoughts?
