Hidden

One...
One Buddha is enough
One...
One Buddha is not enough
One...
Buddha is enough
One...
One is Buddha
One...
 
I am breathing now for an old Buddhist monk
Small as the first moon
Hidden in the stillness of the heron's breathless, emerald wing
And for the yoga that Christ taught
On his Tree of Love.
 
Though the sun may sit like a chariot on stilts of flame and cherry glass
Suffering into happiness
The way of empty hands
Chanting the secrets that make it bright.
 
And the wicked,
In that Palace of Ruins,
Curse the pureness
Its purse of one coin.
 
The small shadows of this day we are given
Bolted into the thrush of emptiness
And here on a Dantean hill,
Confusions may brew
When the Tea-singers begin their vows of silence.
 
In the raiment of this town
Not of the sun's rising
A tear of sadness for all the worldly joy
As moths return to their torched graves
And springs arrive early in every season
Telegraphed into their own heart of good fortune
Chanting, "One Buddha is not enough."
 
Buddha.
 
Springs arrive early in every season.
 
One Buddha is enough.

Taha...
Fe'unga ha Puta e taha
Taha...
'Oku 'ikai fe'unga ha Puta e taha
Taha...
Fe'unga ha Puta e taha
Taha...
Ko taha ia, ko Puta
Taha...
 
'Oku kuou manava ki 'anaini maa ha moniki Puta motu'a
Kihi'i ko e Mahina mu'a
Fakalilo ia 'i he longomate 'o e kapakau 'a e Helone1-- ta'emanava mo lanu 'emalata
Pea ki he ioka na'e folofola'i 'a Kalaisi
'I hono 'Akau 'o e 'Ofa.
 
He kuo tangutu 'a e la'a 'o hange ha jaliote 'i ha va'e afi mo e sio'ata lanu kulokula
Kataki ki loto he monu'ia
Ko e anga 'o e ngaahi nima maha
Hivehiva ia 'a e ngaahi lilo ke faka'ulo ia.
 
Pea ko e kau angahala
'I he Palasi 'o e Ngaahi Auha
Fakahala'ia'i ia 'a e angama'a
Ko hono kato 'o e selini e taha.
 
'Oku foaki teki tautolu 'e he ngaahi 'ata iiki 'o e 'aho ni
Fakama'u ia ki loto he filofilo 'o e maha
Pea ko ha sio Taanetei 'i heni
Mahalo 'e haka he ngaahi maveu
'I he kamata 'e he kauhiva ti 'a honau fuakava fakalongolongo.
 
'I he kofu 'o e kolo ni
'Ikai ko e hopo 'a e la'a
Ko ha lo'imata 'o loto mamahi ki he nekeneka katoa 'o mamani
Ne'ongo kuo tafoki 'a e fanga ane ki honau totoka mangia
Pea a'u tomu'a 'a e ngaahi ta'u kamata 'i he kuonga kotoa pe
Filo 'uhila ki loto 'akinautolu 'o e monu'ia lelei
Hivehiva, "'Oku 'ikai fe'unga ha Puta e taha."
 
Puta.
 
'Oku a'u tomu'a 'a e ngaahi ta'u kamata 'i he kuonga kotoa pe
 
Fe'unga ha Puta e taha.
