August 2013

such darkness . . .
a kumara swells within
night's belly

look now!
forever now
this light

night sky —
the Southern Cross cuts
through my heart

desolate wind —
by a sanctuary light
silence wails

rising sun —
an earthquake rumbles
here or there

fluttering web —
by Hiruharama's light
my will bleeds dry

misty rain —
a glimpse of mountains
fill the garden

winter rain—
an ant bears the weight
of the world
