Allen Ginsberg — 136 Syllables at Rocky Mountain Dharma Center

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.
