BUDDHASERMON

so light
nearly adrift in air
so solid
a sheer granite cliff
lost in fog at her feet
maybe his feet

human, that was certain
gender less so
Chinese in name
same as the skating
champion from L.A.

Kwan and then “zeon bosatsu”
kwanzeonbosatsu
some kind of prayer
a name becomes a chant
lord have mercy someone whispered, a sutra

Buddha sermon
kwanzeonbosatsu
healing all suffering
in the mist at her feet

lost in fog too deep
at her feet
our wounds too deep
for explanation

kwanzeonbosatsu
