THREE OLD MONK POEMS (382)
WHEN THE DARKNESS
When the darkness
comes at you
push the knife away,
the old monk said.
~
IT'S AS IF
It's as if
the crickets
tell the shadows
what to do,
the old monk
marveled.
~
HOW WILL YOU
How will you look
when you can't do
your numbers,
the old monk berated
his students.
Even the crows
can count to ten.
~
