Zen Poem


I want my love to lie with me
In the quiet of this afternoon
And add her breathing to the sound
Of mourning doves on distant roofs -
The rustling of sheets to the wind
That comes through cedars by the house -
The touch of her cold feet to the clinking
Flagpole and the pattering
Fall of fountain-spray on the pond.
