The Teaching

The Teaching

A Poem by EB

 

I loved sitting with you

I really did

Your silent hospitality

Never concealed any wisdom

Or a bottle of Sake

Many times you wanted me to start smoking

But it was only after your heart attack

That I seriously considered it

. you are a master of brevity and emotional expression ... your apparently simple poetry is deeply profound and perceptive and sensitive ... thank you for reminding me of the "wisdom" in "silent hospitality" ... and there's little i can say about those last two lines ... except that they have a chilling effect ... in an infinitely poetic sort of way ... (i am a smoker) ...

Masterfully done.

"silent hospitality" creates an image of mystery and intrigue. I love that.
