Fifteen monks sitting
almost hidden in shadowsâ
black robes, white faces.
A temple gardenâ
green blades pulled up from the sand
wither in small heaps.
The ceremony finished
the place is silent except
for a boy sweeping.
The open window
lets in a smell of wet leaves.
How soft the damp air.
Bamboo and maple
twigs bend down at our windows.
The weight of thin rain.
Clouds on Daimonjiâ
in quiet contemplation
watching them drift in.
Weighted down with rain
even tips of cedar twigs
lean toward the earth.
