Today is publication day for the French translation of my book on Zen practice, Kill Your Self, published by Pocket as La Vie Apres L'Ego. A deep bow of thanks to Mikael Demets, Charlotte Lefevre, Elise Boulay and Ghizlaine Guevel.

by Barry Graham
winter morning — daylight arrives without a story
snow plunges from tower block ledges like falling bodies
duckling left behind paddles to catch up with mother and siblings
children playing in ruins of mill me 40 summers ago walking by today
young woman pushing pram bruise beneath her eye morning rain
zazen together, one breath 4000 miles but no distance between us
winter street — dog turd on pavement shape and colour of autumn leaf
First published in Northwords Now, spring/summer 2020
