THREE OLD MONK POEMS (5) 


WHAT'S ON

What's on the mountain
stays on the mountain

even when the old monk
comes stumbling down.

AFTER WHILE

After while
she just stops

working, the mule
going up

the mountain,
the old monk said.

That's when we
take our rest.

EVEN IN THE PINES

Even in the pines
the moon will show itself

for me, my friend,
the old monk said.

and the moon, it did.
