“In Tibet”
Today my spirit is in Tibet.
The monks’ smiles give me self-knowledge
like never before.
I can hear myself again.
Their eyes signal
“Friend, friend, friend”
as though to make a gift
of joy.

Conversation
by Elizabeth Bishop
The tumult in the heart
keeps asking questions.
And then it stops and undertakes to answer
in the same tone of voice.
No one could tell the difference.

Uninnocent, these conversations start,
and then engage the senses,
only half-meaning to.
And then there is no choice,
and then there is no sense;

until a name
and all its connotation are the same.

Bonus Poem:
From Woman

she tried to be a book
but he wouldn't read

she turned herself into a bulb
but he wouldn't let her grow

she decided to become
a woman
and though he still refused
to be a man
she decided it was all
right
