15th Century Zen Poet Ikkyu AKA "Crazy Cloud"

A few selected Ikkyu poems, [as translated as couplets by Stephen Berg]((http://ift.tt/2utJfkn)) from the book titled "Crow With No Mouth"...

we're lost where the mind can't find us utterly lost


don't hesitate get laid that's wisdom sitting around chanting what crap


night after night after night stay up all night nothing but your own night


my gray cat jumped up just as I lifted this spoon we're born we die


the mind is exactly this tree that grass without thought or feeling both disappear


mirror facing mirror nowhere else
