AFTER IKKYU: 30 by JAMES HARRISON

Poet Analysis

First Line: IT IS DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE THE WORDLESS CONVERSATIONS
Last Line: THE VAST ASTEROID ON ITS WAY TOWARD LA GOES UNMENTIONED.
Subject(s): IMAGINARY CONVERSATIONS;

It is difficult to imagine the wordless conversations
between Jesus and Buddha going on this very moment.
These androgynous blood brothers demand our imagination.
They could ask Shakespeare and Mozart to write words
and music, and perhaps a dozen others, but they've done so.
The vast asteroid on its way toward LA goes unmentioned.
