1
One crisp Spring morning
Symbol of her love laying
In the form of eggs.
2
Pausing on the bridge
Looking down: should I go on?
Practicing rhythm.
3
Alone on a train
Reading the ad above me
“Go find your beauty.”
4
Autumn is here
Echoing Pygmalion
I hug my pillow.
5
Solitude, they say
The natural state of man
Willfully silent.
6
Her head in my lap
Playing with her silky hair
Roused by the alarm.
7
Heat of Gehenna
Burning up within my chest
Body an oven.
8
Zazen on my mind
Becoming sleepy in class
Dreaming already.
9
Endlessly deep pools
Jumping in I swim far down
Weight of the water
10
Deep in that water
Pierced by an icy chill
Sunbeams still reach me.
