Under the Basho 2014
-
an apple
an apple
here in hiding
. . . nothing more -
awake with the birds
awake with the birds
I distill the who I am
from the edge of light -
first light
first light
the fall from it
all around -
losing heart
losing heart
a loss of words
fills the air -
overhead
overhead
galaxies swamped
in equations -
scented night
scented night —
a moth enters the hush
between stars -
soundless by starlight
soundless by starlight —
the poet sipping darkness
from a mirror's eyes
