Poem for Tuesday, November 3, 2009


Bodhisattva

Harpies flyin' south too tired and cold
       to harass the immoral Greek warriors
       engulf a majestic oak, gold-yellow leaves
fallin'
        down, one by one
our ground's no longer green but
we still tread it

Look--

I've been sustaining on rice grains
fruit and a swig or two of
        dharma each day

can I fly with them
        yet?
