Legacy
(For Gary Snyder)

On the boat of a million years
beneath the great fire
we are.

As Hait-un dances, Taiyang dances
on the waves
we are.

Words
laid down like rocks
are.

Meaning shifts
as the boat of the world
moves through time
but words remain

and

Hait-un and Taiyang
and you and I
will be

forever laid down
like rocks.
