Author's Note: Sometimes the old monk talks to the poet, not that the poet pays attention....

from
The Old Monk Poems

Language is physical —
don't forget that,
the old monk told the poet.

~

I write poems
because I don't know
the full story,
the old monk told
the poet.

~

Condense
until it reaches
critical mass,
the old monk told
the poet.
