Bell Hammer Song

Ruts of a Springtime Mud
                                                                                                                  
Hard ground
The road of knowledge
A good spade barely dents the earth

Many wheels have rolled this way
Ruts of a springtime mud

But who has alighted upon the path
to touch the beaten ground?

Strung by a Spider

Cobwebs
on the Buddha's head
silks of webs
strung by a spider
for no one
