b o w (bow)

"Elusive and unreliable as it is, the wise man straightens out his restless, agitated mind,
like a fletcher crafting an arrow." - Dhammapada 3.33


I hear moktak
in the train warning
or reversing truck

wake up, wake up

your blue hands hold the

bow
the bowing wood
the bent finger triggered
by 108 flexes
that fletch
before
straightening
the mind
