Orange fruits of Kaki

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.

plant cuttings

 i am jealous of the seven plant cuttings that i got from my friend one sunday afternoon - a succulent called vicks that smells like a camphor some spotted snake like leaves a chain like cascade with cardoid leaves some needed to be cut exactly somewhere for the severed roots to understand they cannot sprout as leaves on the underside that they are needed to draw water that they used to be something that function is something to perform not something they were. all this for houseplants that wouldn't survive a day in soil outside i perhaps send my hands in this soil hoping they will become roots and my ears someday become leaves.
