Meeting the ancestors face to face

A short poem written unexpectedly when replying to a post on the FB Soto Zen group

Eyebrows entangled with the ancients
Daruma's fetid breath in my face
Dogen's sweaty forehead on mine
We all stare at the wall

Bodhidharma (Daruma)
Painted by Hakuin (1686 to 1769)
