shuttered monastery the keening of bell crickets
—Lorraine A Padden
Issue 22.1 | 8 July 2022
Fascinating 'sound' haiku as if monks and bhikkhunī (Pali: भिक्खुनी) or bhikṣuṇī (Sanskrit: भिक्षुणी) are reincarnated into crickets, and also perhaps trying to warn us, and mourn us at the same time.
The crickets remain, but we all depart this plane when mind leaves the brain.
