Readings
Funny it suggests
Milarepa to you
or redemption
or salvation
or any sense at all
A fractured karma
is our lot. Even Dante
knew he needed help
In How to Build a Fire
we take a bit from here
take a bit from there
or redemption
or salvation
or any sense at all
A fractured karma
is our lot. Even Dante
knew he needed help
in the dark woods
under darker trees
In How to Build a Fire
we take a bit from here
take a bit from there
& we keep hoping
something catches
I see Charles Manson
is denied parole again
as we wonder
just what he was
scratching at his ear
scratching at his ear
A Buddhist monk
pours the gasoline
& mortal thoughts
plight the world
you know how it goes.
