WATER WILL





The willow wends

his way

with water and wind.

The willow's will

is the water's will



WHIPPOORWILL

When I hear the whippoorwill

I stop whipping my poor will.



RIVER CHANGES NAME



As the river merges

with another river

and changes her name,

does a monk join

his consciousness to

God and change his name

.. do some women

without parochial

consciousness

change their names

when wed



(some combine

names.. some keep

their maiden names)



WELL



Memory's infinite cells

drift up from

memory's wells

.. unsummoned by

any audible bell
