Red Rice :: Sutra
Artwork by Yao Feng of Oregon
tonight in the kitchen
of Kuoching Temple, I saw
a glimpse of certainty
in a pot of red Bhutanese rice ::
but in this eternal instant, oh,
a Himalayan wind
chased it all away :: it was
like the scent of mulberries,
here and then gone ::
thus I have heard :::
