Over the garden fence,
what floppiness of acid pink,
what tenderness of white hydrangeas!

Baby summer
In the night a baby summer
rolls on to my bare back
like a sumo tiger.
All warm fur, and feel
the weight of it!

Footpaths
Heavenly footpaths.
At knee height
explosion of peonies.

Gardens of Kyoto
Gardens of Kyoto.
Somebody taught the rocks
and combed the sand.

Corridors
Your eyes are corridors
of comprehension. Old.
A bee revives, and truth is tolled.
