For Michael Bush — who parinirvanaed on September 11, 2020

I feel gratitude for our summer days

And our practicings of serenity

I am bowing to your smile

You taught me Tai Chi, friend

We who parisamsara miss you

The dharma road is empty now

I am walking to you in this poem

With all beings who are no beings

You have flowed on

This is everyone’s destiny

Now in the center of a timeless presence

You are truly home
