Short Poems


BAMBOO CURTAINS

Cool full moon light it is certain
will shine through living bamboo curtains
and through windows to comfort

people hurting

(Bamboo trees can grow 30 feet in
a summer... blessing the earth
with their jade leaves in many ways)


SPYRING

The prayers of many beings
to God are aspiring
that God break up
all violent spyrings


SYNTAX

He complained while buying

coffin nail cigarettes

of the exorbitant sin tax

Unconcerned was he

about proper syntax.






Author's Notes/Comments: 

(In the current debate between
the government of China and
the Tibetan people, one is reminded
that in the presence of Tibetan monks
chanting, all are touched by
their deep
and tangible peace)
