Crank and pendulum And ticking clocks of time And a hundred laws that measure how Each haiku must rhyme A Half seeing Buddha and candles lit at night Orange fruits of Kaki are Alone that are bright Untouched is the father Untouched his possessions Orange Fruits of Kaki, Candles and allegations. Sweeping strokes of waterbrush And inkblots of colors Orange fruits of Kaki And tears for travelers A Hundred laws of fairness A hundred laws of sin Orange red blood that flows Through every type of skin.
Mostly I brush life off my shoulder when it falls gently from a tree, or when it grows from my shirt like lint. Mostly i sigh it away like a laugh from an unfounded joke or a waft of extra air in speech. Except sometimes.
