AFTER IKKYU: 20 by JAMES HARRISON

Poet Analysis

First Line: MORE LION PRINTS IN OUR CREEK BED
Last Line: OLDER, THE FLAVORS OF EARTH ARE MORE DELICIOUS.

More lion prints in our creek bed.
Right now in the light cool rain at midnight,
coyotes. Skunk stink laden in the mist.
Hidden moon, I don't want to go home yet.
Older, the flavors of earth are more delicious.
