THREE OLD MONK POEMS (131) 


THE WAY IT BREAKS

The way it breaks is
the way it breaks,

the old monk said,
whether you're talking

about a storm,
a walking stick, or

a line of poetry.

SOMETIMES / SHADOWS

Sometimes
shadows
on the wall

is all
the candle
has to say

the old monk said.

THE LEAST YOU CAN DO

The least you can do
is to try not to undo
what God has done,
the old monk said.
