At The Shrine Room Gate Poem by Sheena Blackhall

At The Shrine Room Gate



A khaki spotted fly
Walks over the word observe
Etched into the wood of a Buddhist panel

Eight prayer flags, white, green, red
Tug on their moorings
Torn between a wooden fence and a birch tree

Crane fly flows off the path
Over the iris pool

A white moth zig zags
Through the gate’s dark slats
