With no time, sky
has nothing
to do but wander,
alms bowl in hand.
Sometimes, I
look into night & smile
at desert’s offering
in moon shadow
clouds over this city, a
certain bread, fresh
with heavy, stillness.
Sky closes its eyes, sitting
in meditation, the
worlds gets dark.
Mind ablaze with insight,
the rocks on sky’s altar
illuminated
with wisdom, and, we see
constellations.
Anyway,
drinking tea, I offer &
watch sky
capture tea’s essence as
steam escapes my cup
into sky’s alms bowl.
