| I
HAVE SUCH A TEACHER |
| |
|
Last night my teacher
taught me the lesson of poverty, |
|
having nothing and
wanting nothing. |
| |
|
|
I am a naked man
standing inside a mine of rubies, |
|
clothed in red silk. |
|
I absorb the shining
and now I see the ocean, |
|
billions of simultaneous
motions |
| |
moving in me. |
|
A circle of lovely,
quiet people |
|
becomes the ring
on my finger. |
|
|
|
Then the wind and
thunder of rain on the way. |
| |
I have such a teacher. |
