THREE OLD MONK POEMS (12)
I'M AS SERIOUS
I'm as serious
as the stars are,
the old monk said.
All night serious.
~
THE STARS, YES,
The stars, yes,
the old monk says --
they talk all night
and paint the darkness.
~
DON'T
Don't, he said,
the old monk,
don't push me.
I'm going up
the mountain, I'm
not coming back.
~
