Altars

At the retreat -
These are the difficult 
Days -
All those who have 
Confidence and 
Aplomb
Express themselves with 
Eloquence
Concerning their 
Hatha Yoga and 
New age 
Living arrangements 

They come from here and there 
And are on their way to somewhere 
Exotic
On standby 
- they have found something 
On the Internet 
Which is 
A great 
Deal 

One comes from San Francisco 
And lives on the hill 
One lives out in the desert
But does it
Very well 

How can I compare 
My weedy garden 
And patchy paint 
( I know, 
Not good
To compare) 
But to me 
This is 
The place exotic 
The place I can barely 
Afford 
And hardly get to 
Anymore 

To each 
His own 
And mine is this 

I have within 
A little space 
I have prepared 
A little altar 
In the heart 
And I am not so much concerned 
Anymore 

With 

New age 
Poses
