Lonnard Dean Watkins
Zen Poetry
the wind holds its breath
fog envelopes the trees
temple bells echo
calling monks to prayer
above them in a mountain cave
the old one sits facing the wall
to the west a crane flies
as the wind breathes again
why go in one door and out another
waiting for your hair to fall out
stop and sit still for a while
gather your hairs to make a cushion
