fade into dark –
falling cherry petals

Lightning flickers
only in the north:
the moon is overcast.

black & white sunday: always there
a pheasant’s cry –
resounding in the mountains
the voice of silence
~Enomoto Seifu*
the voice of silence…always there…waiting

Upon the Mount of Eagles
The moon shines down-
Seeing it, a man,
Is lost in darkness,
Within his heart.

This body
grown fragile, floating,
a reed cut from its roots…
If a stream would ask me
to follow, I’d go, I think.
