THREE OLD MONK POEMS (437) 


SOMETIMES YOU JUST

Sometimes you just have to say
I might as well peel carrots

and listen to the rain,
the old monk said.

IF YOU CAN'T

If you can't do the sums in your head
you will need faster fingers,
the old monk said.

~

THIS IS

This is
mountain.

This is
sun and moon.

They are
brilliance.

What is
silence,

the old monk asked.
