Samurai
Robert Pinsky
And when i had no room
I made our ? to my room
And when i had no supper
My eyes damned
And when i had no eyes
I listened
And when i had no ears
I thought
And when i had no thought
I waited
And when i had no father
I made care my father
When i had no mother
I embraced order
And when i had no friends
I made silence my friend
And when i had no enemy
I opposed my body
And when i had no temple
I made my voice my temple
When i have no priest
My tongue is my guide ?
When i have no needs
Fortune is my need
When i have nothing
Death will be my fortune
