Tokusan carries bowls
as though expecting a meal.
He is asked, “have
you been called, for
I have rung no bell.”
He returns to his room
in silent response.
You may say he retreated
in defeat, be he will have
the final answer.

an old writer and his words 
Sounds funny but at the same time insightful. I love it. Tokusan holds his bowls 🥣is the poem. 😅💕💥💖💥❤💥
