“The Buffalo Coat” by Thomas McGrath
I see him moving, in his legendary fleece,
Between the superhighway and an Algonquin stone axe;
Between the wild tribes, in their lost heat,
And the dark blizzard of my Grandfather’s coat;
Cold with the outdoor cold caught in the curls,
Smelling of the world before the poll tax.
And between the new macadam and the Scalp Act
They got him by […]

The Trees Indeed Love You
“Simply by chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, one can become free from all misery, but because they are enchanted by the illusory energy, people do not take this movement seriously. Therefore those who are actually servants of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu must seriously distribute this movement all over the world to render the greatest benefit to […]

.From shadows shaken on the snow,
I saw Orion in the east
.Burn steadily as long ago.
From windows in my father’s house,
.Dreaming my dreams on winter nights,
I watched Orion as […]
