Old town Kyoto!
Where geisha trot through the streets
Gift-wrapped like presents
A deep green pool
held in cracked raku tea cup
offered with two hands
If you want to sleep
watch the precision of the
tea ceremony
Five turquoise lagoons
suspended in a sea of blue
born from sand and fire
The Salaryman
feeding the birds in the park
in his old work suit
In the bamboo grove
the creaks and groans help you to
see shinto spirits
Chattering children
typhoons and evening news
family moments
One thousand years of
Japanese history, held
in a single note
The Shakuhachi!
Grown in the bamboo forests
Nourished with moon light
Everything that you are
there to benefit others
- the life of giving -
She walks home alone
they don't see the word 'hello'
printed on her bag
