Faded Snapshots of Kyoto. 



Below us
The city seethes in heat


Here
Within the temple garden
Even the sound of water is banished



Wavelets of grey sand brush
The ancient rocks

Sombre Winter Poem.



Bowl

White water reflecting

A fractured smile


 
    On the grass

    Frost settles

    Untrodden



How many winter moons to wait

Before your fingers press unbidden

The glass door

           Late November.



The mush of autumn clings to my shoes
leaf mould mixed with broken feathers.
I scrape my heal as I enter the house,
Reality            belongs           outside.


    The trees suddenly are skeletons
          Scratching a white sky -
           Summer is long gone.


Must I grow old before the Lark returns?
Never mind.    I have planted a hundred
                   Spring bulbs.
