There are two questions in
Life
How to achieve lasting love
And how to die
All else is myriad pink
blooms
On one camellia bush
The rest is approaching thunder
Deepening damp a
Breeze


All actions from the meditation of
Bodhisattvas
Rantings from Libya
Chattering of talk show hosts
Sipping champagne
Downing Irish ale
To slipping naked into a lake at
Night
Are questions of love and death
As surely as green grass needs rain

Jack E Miller
