IT MUST BE LEAVES

Too slow for rain,

too large for tears,

and grief

cannot be seen.

It must be leaves.

But broken

ones, and brown,

not green.

HAIBUN: A MOUNTAIN ROWBOAT

Go for a walk on the mountain. The trail, up many wooden stairs, passes some houses. In front of one, an old man is building a boat. All summer I have watched this mountain rowboat. Like a horse in its stall, patiently waiting for evening hay, it rests on its wooden cradle. Finally, today, it is being painted: a clear Baltic blue. Horses dream. You can see this move through their ears. But the hopes of an old man spill, as waking life does, through the hands.
