"Lotus" is a found poem of mine in which the first sentence is a Chinese proverb, the second sentence is a Japanese proverb and the third sentence is a Zen proverb. I dedicate this poem to my maternal grandmother, whose first name was Lotus.
The mud. The lotus flower
Blooms in the mud. May
I live like the lotus, at
Ease in the muddy water.
