THREE OLD MONK POEMS (271)
WHAT YOU HOLD
What you hold onto
is what keeps you
from flying,
the old monk told
his new students.
~
THE OLD HERMITS
The old hermits
on the mountain
talk to the spirits.
At night, sometimes,
that's what your hear,
their moaning,
the old monk said.
~
THE MONK'S ROBE
The monk's robe
is only
for the monk.
No one else
can wear the
spirits stitched
into it.
