Have I sinned I have heard Scampering up cliffs Snow leopards Kayaking down the Mochhu Blue is clean Prayer flags on the mountain Can I sing the blues must I be the tiger
to love snow leopards
rock-and-roll
and blues too
blue sheep make me cry
freezing to hide
must eat –
I will not look
I see only splash
only sky
red I deny
let me be of slate color
hiding my friends
in the sorrow of the lamb
with only wool to give
in cold comfort, or
to growl at my hunger
to dominate
—- Douglas Gilbert
(Henry Le Châtelier)
