three rings to begin
cat leaps out of the bowl bell
first morning prayer

a buddhist meeting
so many younger people
just a few snow owls

buddha sits outside
among garden gnomes
mandara blooming

chanting in anger
grinding prayer beads—
the string snaps apart

backlit by sunlight
each maple leaf turns crimson
life’s a burning house

young girls rehearsing
spin and snap their flags

at evening prayer
cat kneels on my lap
bows to the altar
