Waking the Dead


What words
can enlighten
those who don't want
to be enlightened?

Just do your work
and seek to ride
in the center of Tao.

It's silence,
not speeches,
that wakes
the dead.

Matchstick House

Sandlewood splints prop
Gabled roofs over squat urns.
Incense slowly burns.

A Second Morn

The dead live within
You, like an unfolding ghost
Flower offering
Pollen to each passing bee
In dancing scents of being.
