It may sound highfalutin
yet ’tis but simple-hearted:
If poetry elicits
our own self-refined feeling,
monkpoetry means to still
our emotion, such that we
may attain simple feeling
of being . . . though we always
already are be-ing such,
having only forgot much,
for being, say, out of touch.
The monk in us in touch just
uses poetic form to
inform then transform all form
all around, all the while so
to say the unsayable
by saying only what’s
necessarily possible,
which by all modal logic
points to the necessary.
