THREE OLD MONK POEMS (323) 


THE OLD MONK TALKING

The old monk talking --
how much of this
is just the wind,
his students wondered.

~

IT IS IN

It is in
lifting my eyes

I lift my heart,
the old monk says.

~

IF YOU CAN'T

If you can't
put them away

as fast as I can
set them out,

we'll never get done,
the old monk said.
