Whether flowers
bloom or not
it's spring today
...
Flooding the western sky
with a pool of blood,
like a highwayman
glaring at passersby,
...
Under the sky's cataract-blinded eyes
where ancient darkness stoops
its head sagging to its knees
a walking stick in its hand
...
Standing on one leg, arms reaching up
hair piled high in unkempt yogi knots
a tree peers down
and the more he sees the more he is amazed
...
