dear hunter (shadorma)

dear hunter,

don’t spook the deer herds,

or else when

the day’s through,

there’ll be food for the birds,

but nothing for you

retold tales (tanka)

respect the aged

listen to their old stories

as if they were new

they can still teach us something–

even if it’s just patience
