February Haiku

my favorite tea bowl

lost to a sage who once said

it’s okay to break form


mostly gulping

it was a splendid night

of sitting zazen


no water this time

for those poor hungry ghosts

too much thinking


eyes struck a turkey

looking through the window

the mind gobbles


somewhere a coconut

is being hit outside

time to sit zazen


the Tao echoes

all around the zendo

white bean soup
