Unofficial Business ~ Wednesday, July 24, 2024

One hand claps my ear
no irony rings the bell
enter the zen-dō

harmony, a tear
as it rolls down, I feel sound
not bad, not unwell
despite a soft blow

clearly, Zenji hears the pitch
lifts me, wings unbound
anger, desire, fear
pains me more than delusion
serves me right, unclear

mind, a decision
yesterday, at dusk, I stitch

each cut with some thread
as to what I dread
restless wolves, an ancient witch
