THREE OLD MONK POEMS (485) 


WITHOUT

Without the stuff
of stone,
what are stars,
the old monk asked.

~

YOU CAN'T OFFER

You can't offer
what you don't have
unless you're selling
short,
the old monk said.

~

IF YOU HAVE

If you have to give it
a name,
call it what it's most like,
the old monk said.
