There\u2019s a Dog Barking in the Monastery
\nby
\nRadiance Angelina Petro<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a dog barking in the monastery,
\nthere are men who drown on land. Even the wisest<\/p>\n
grope in the dark, and lightening reveals the nature
\nof spirit, and I am still alive, and long ago stopped drawing<\/p>\n
lines in the sand, and somehow eight becomes nine, and nine
\nbecomes ten, and so on, and so forth, and no matter what<\/p>\n
someone will have the last word. It\u2019s my hope to be relaxed
\nand generous, and while silence has its faults, and the night<\/p>\n
and I are so often not on the same page, I have still managed
\nto empty my mind once or twice (haven\u2019t figured out where<\/p>\n
it\u2019s contents goes though), and I\u2019ve been doted on by the wind,
\nand I still laugh at the word \u201ceyeball\u201d (it\u2019s an eye and a ball),<\/p>\n
and I have a zeal to do good, and if I were a snake
\nin a basket I\u2019d gladly allow myself to be drawn out<\/p>\n
by the snake charmer\u2019s music. But really, if you need me
\ntoday, I\u2019ll be in a monastery somewhere<\/p>\n
in the cloudy mountains, barking as soon as
\nthe meditation bell begins to ring.<\/p>\n
