THREE OLD MONK POEMS (335)
THAT'S THE HOLY PART
That's the holy part
of begging,
the old monk said,
giving people a way
to get to heaven.
~
THAT'S WHAT YOUR SKIN
That's what your skin is for,
to hold you together
when it all comes apart,
the old monk said.
~
DON'T BE
Don't be disappointed --
the mountain doesn't care,
the old monk said.
