136 Syllables At Rocky Mountain Dharma Center

Tail turned to red sunset on a juniper crown a lone magpie cawks.

 

Mad at Oryoki in the shrine-room -- Thistles blossomed late afternoon.

 

Put on my shirt and took it off in the sun walking the path to lunch.

 

A dandelion seed floats above the marsh grass with the mosquitos.

 

At 4 A.M. the two middleaged men sleeping together holding hands.

 

In the half-light of dawn a few birds warble under the Pleiades.

 

Sky reddens behind fir trees, larks twitter, sparrows cheep cheep cheep

cheep cheep.

July 1983

 

Caught shoplifting ran out the department store at sunrise and woke up.

 

August 1983
