when it is time to go i hope it rains
was that a haiku a rap on the knuckles by basho
never truly liberated from the demands of flesh
untamed flesh fills the power vacuum
cloudless sky our eyes steal the light from stars
seek succour in smoke and ripples
the river gods watch as we stumble along the banks
the clouds wait as pond heron readies for the plunge
quiet room eyes survey the landscape of bodies
