cracked earth the sweet scent of jasmine disturbs the soul
Tag: experimental
moonlit night barren trees bloom only for our eyes
these feet stumble from thorns so that the ones behind us may walk in peace
two steps forward one step back the mad toad leaps forth
full moon the silver shimmer of rice fields
in the space between the silent river and this body a grey heron appears
winter in its talons the eagle flies into the dawning sun
the spring river barely disturbed by the eagle’s dive
soft enough to fail spring clouds drift apart
closer to flesh closer to the ground the clouds come down
