The Buddha, The Dharma, The Sangha

The Being of Tree

whose breakfast
is disturbed
as I place one foot
before the other

catbird
the family of four
each take a berry
from the service berry tree

in service
the tree 
provides the universe

in flight
catbird leaves me

forever beneath her
melodious cloak

bird shit
on my
sleeve
