For Greg Bechle
Prayers like bees
Emulating the crossing over.
Pine shavings burned
On charcoal disks.
Shin-do: Of the Heart and Mind.
After the ceremony,
An 81 year old woman with one leg
I’m pushing in a wheelchair up a stony hill.
She hands me a cigarette,
And lights one for herself.
Truth. Crossing over.
Of the heart and mind.
