Zen Mind

Clothed against light's dictatorship
Absorbed into will not speak

Present the unannotated gift
Brushstrokes empty the jar

An eight-year-old's question hems
The shoeless journey over sand

Army of mosquitoes otherwise idyllic
Gold flecks otherwise brown

Believe in breath's crevices
The price without price

She lets light dictate
She lets brown come in
