136 Syllables at Rocky Mountain Dharma Center Lyrics
Tail turned to red sunset on a juniper crown a lone magpie cawks
Mad at Oryoki in the shrine-room -- Thistles blossomed late afternoon
Put on my shirt and took it off in the sun walking the path to lunch
A dandelion seed floats above the marsh grass with the mosquitos
At 4 A.M. the two middleaged men sleeping together holding hands
In the half-light of dawn a few birds warble under the Pleiades
Sky reddens behind fir trees, larks twitter, sparrows cheep cheep cheep
Cheep cheep.
Mad at Oryoki in the shrine-room -- Thistles blossomed late afternoon
Put on my shirt and took it off in the sun walking the path to lunch
A dandelion seed floats above the marsh grass with the mosquitos
At 4 A.M. the two middleaged men sleeping together holding hands
In the half-light of dawn a few birds warble under the Pleiades
Sky reddens behind fir trees, larks twitter, sparrows cheep cheep cheep
Cheep cheep.
