Three Poems

Before The Wedding Feast pt. 1

They drag the pig by its tail, then it s ears; they tied one of each leg
The pig continues to squeal
and shake until it can do so
no more
(Next pig...)
In the meantime, hold the beans and snap them,skin the potatoes and drown them.
Becuase later we will
celebrate the union of souls


Aha! Ha?

Looking for satori
We found mono no aware
What did we find again?

Before The Wedding Feast Pt. 2

The pigs were piled together
Each one tied to their feet
Some try to nibble their way to freedom
But throw in some pig food and they will
Forget about the leash...
They shouldn't
They live for this moment
Was bred for this very moment
And we shall Feast
