Art is a journey into the most unknown thing of all - oneself. Nobody knows his own frontiers… I don’t think I’d ever want to take a road if I knew where it led.
Louis Kahan
A butterfly’s
noises while eating something—
such quietness.
A white peony
We say, yet I sense
Faint pink
To cure fields where
We gathered greens in daylight
It rains at night.
Still sunk in the east
Is the sun; the field of
Wild flowers
the winds that blow —
ask them which leaf on the tree
will be next to go
Very brief:
Gleam of blossoms in the treetops
On a moonlit night.
The temple bell stops.
But the sound keeps coming
out of the flowers.
temple bell
also sounds like it is
cicada’s voice
Hydrangea, a truth of yesterday, a lie of today.
