THREE OLD MONK POEMS (270)
SOMETIMES THE ROOF
Sometimes the roof
of his hut opens
and the old monk is
lifted to the sky
where all the watchers
watch. Sometimes he
meets God. He does not
speak of this often.
~
SOME ON THE MOUNTAIN
Some on the mountain
do not know how to pray,
but only how to dance,
and God dances with them,
the old monk said.
~
THE MONK'S ROBE
The monk's robe,
yes, because
he does not do
ordinary work.
