mountain stream 
along with the clear water
the moon flows . . . 
this endless journey 
with a poem bag and guilts

gulmohar saplings 
I plant them one by one 
around the farmhouse . . . 
she might come someday
seeking a cool place to rest

spring evening
the hut glows all night 
in liquid silver . . .
fetching the moon from the well 
she sings of youthful days

silently folding 
a white origami crane 
this late noon . . . 
myopic eyes search
Hiroshima on the map

a dewdrop 
the divine proportion 
on the tip of a fern . . .
in her classical dance 
pose of a blooming lotus
