drink

drink

desert with desire
thirst disappearing while dry
stones fill deep hunger

thunder

thunder
in the dark mountains
shakes dry lightening from wet stones
dispensing new paths

Thanks to Luke for publishing Thunder today!

History is good - keeps us grounded. This ancient chinese poet reminds us people have always found a way to mix poetry & drink:

"“When you write in prose, you cook the rice. When you write poetry, you turn rice into rice wine. Cooked rice doesn’t change its shape, but rice wine changes both in quality and shape. Cooked rice makes one full so one can live out one’s life span . . . wine, on the other hand, makes one drunk, makes the sad happy, and the happy sad. Its effect is sublimely beyond explanation.” – Wu Qiao
