THREE OLD MONK POEMS (442) 

 
SOMETIMES THE MOUNTAIN

Sometimes the mountain
and sometimes the old monk

on the mountain, and
sometimes the silence,

his students said.

~

THE MOUNTAIN WANTS

The mountain wants
everything you've got,

every last drop of blood,
every bit of flesh,

the old monk said.

~

SOMETIMES NO MATTER

Sometimes no matter
how you say it,

it comes out backwards,
the old monk said.
