THREE OLD MONK POEMS (390)
IF YOU WANT
If you want to
know what's coming,
listen to the wind,
which cannot lie,
the old monk said.
~
THESE THINGS
These things
I speak of
mean nothing
to you
if you have
no river,
no mountain,
no wind,
no pines,
no moonlight,
the old monk said.
~
THAT CAT
That cat?
Don't pet it
if you need
your arm,
the old monk said.
