THREE OLD MONK POEMS (386) 


THESE THINGS

These things
you don't know
you know

how do you
access them,
they asked

the old monk.
The old monk said,
except for silence

I don't know
and I don't
want to know.

IF IT GOES

If it goes good
you're done before

you've begun,
the old monk said.

~

WHAT I WANT

What I want to
say is caught like
wind in the grasses,

the old monk
told the poet.
