Steel needles

silver, clean,

pierce skin

at points

ordained by

ancient sage.

Still as a cat

I watch

the needles'

slight tremor,

tiny aerials

transmitting ease

to painful sinew.

My western mind

kowtows

to this jade

of wisdom,

this meridian

encompassing

ancient east,

modern west,

to meet

in my left knee.
