Oh Robin
Oh Robin
bayou brother
who cured my baby boy of his nightmares
who my wife called the exorcist
who took my wrathful thanka
who kept me up till 2 AM
engaging Rinpoche with questions--
why twelve hours?
why twelve months?
why twelve-year cycles?
Now I can't remember why
oh Robin
who didn't know that Mipham was Denma
but who knew Denma so well
who didn't return my emails
but took my phone calls
(but never sent the horse-race chapter)
oh Robin
why does death seem so sad
when it is just another bardo
like those others?
