Excerpts, Kumbum Monastery, Late November

3.

I am here alone,

slowly drinking tea cups

of joyful darkness.

4.

I must belong here.

Even washing tea cups

brings me great joy.

6.

I wake up at night.

The center of my being

moves far beyond me.

Excerpt, Empiricism

Can we hear the snow?

Or the dust settling

on tables and chairs,

like mounds of snow?

Or the mouths of two

lovers who do not kiss?

Or words they forget

to say but never miss?

Or bird wings that

flutter in lieder?

Or hands, skittish

as birds, that fill

the page with words?
