THREE OLD MONK POEMS (154) 


YOU CAN'T

You can't
hold your tongue

and keep speaking,
which is why

you should sit
when you try it,

the old monk said.

~

IF YOU KNOW

If you know the job, do it,
the old monk said.
If you do the job, know it.

~

STILLNESS

Stillness.
The old monk
couldn't bring himself
to say it.
