a pond sits

Daikakuji

 

where mountains gather

 

pours mist

it has its flocks

 

shade the songs describe

 

tricks an island out

 

perch here

for ripple tickle

 

turn of the leaf

of the line

 

here comes a season of colours

 

timber and stone one

 

these shadows and this cast of sun –

a series of reversals

 

there’s a bridge to the broken tree

still holds up

a rope around

long funeral

 

a tree may fall to be a bridge

 

a pond sits

take the hint

 

you can reflect

on such a little sky shows blue

 

this must be our moment now
