sits on a rock
like a diamond
treasure of morning coolness
before the sun grips today

the trails of the masters
absorbed in fallen leaves
bared twigs pointing directions

a stone for a pillow
me, just another cicada ...
so shrill, like crying

Springtime in Edo,
Not a day passes without
A temple bell sold.
pounding of hammer and nails
and old church bell is silent
• ˚ ˚ ˛ ˚ ˛ •
bamboo
waving candlelight into the night
wind
nights of Divali lightings
the flicker of deya flames
• ˚ ˚ ˛ ˚ ˛ •

ants busy themselves
under a weeping willow
as old as the hills
