THREE OLD MONK POEMS (236) 


LOOK ABOUT

Look about --
there are poems

on the mountain,
the old monk said.

GOING TO SLEEP

Going to sleep is like
turning off the stars,

the old monk thought
as he went good-night,

or like turning them on.

ANYONE WHO

Anyone who wants to
can learn to do it

except for the part
about how to get down --

that takes practice,
the old monk said.
