Yugen

all alone

although i like visitors

i also like the rain

my feet under 

the waterfall 

over my feet

        "zero hope"

all the dammed tears

         collapse

petrichor 

steaming from the pavement

summer rain

children

hanging the sky 

upside down

bridge of my nose

between thumb and forefinger

a dark well

summer meadow

a profusion of look look

wild flowers

contributaries 

thoughts becoming a renku

as the saké flows

there is nothing as stupid as a stupid fly

mum kissed my plaster

and the tears ran backwards 

just in time
