chanting a mantra
a cicada in the leaves
chants another

into my teacup
a jasmine petal falls:
a dream appearing

Sacre Coeur:
a man feeding sparrows
from his open palm

in the river
bobbing with the geese
at last at peace

wrathful deities:
coming in from the snowstorm
that’s what greets me

one paper wasp
returns to my brass bell:
the future binds us
