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.
