mountain streamÂ
along with the clear water
the moon flows . . .Â
this endless journeyÂ
with a poem bag and guilts
gulmohar saplingsÂ
I plant them one by oneÂ
around the farmhouse . . .Â
she might come someday
seeking a cool place to rest
spring evening
the hut glows all nightÂ
in liquid silver . . .
fetching the moon from the wellÂ
she sings of youthful days
silently foldingÂ
a white origami craneÂ
this late noon . . .Â
myopic eyes search
Hiroshima on the map
a dewdropÂ
the divine proportionÂ
on the tip of a fern . . .
in her classical danceÂ
pose of a blooming lotus
