dusting off
his father’s sheet music—
spring moon
Kris Moon Kondo
————————————————
Dust behind the door
Dust from the earthquake’s roar
Dust beneath the floorboards
Dust to show you know the score
Dust inside the troubled soul
Dust from the freeway’s fall
Dust under the shadow
Dust to realign the call

Jasmine
white,
just white,
opening to white space.

Instead I walk
Instead I help
Instead…
That’s as far as it goes

no sake—
I gaze deeply

No change of mood
Is gifted by artificial flowers
Only freesias
Are for the one way of the one love

in Buddha believe:
wheat shaft’s
green truth
Seisensui Ogiwara
————————————————
So we come to the big one
Yet not quite yet
For evasion immediately
Empties its pockets onto the floor
That we might trip up
Or hiccup
Or procrastinate
Or hesitate
But no
A statement is called for
It is not enough
To say that you are unsure
What truth is
Even if that is your truth
Even if that is your truth

beautiful lines
of green run through
the summer dishes
Tatsuko Hoshino
————————————————
Yes, beauty
Those beautiful lines
From side to side
From shore to shore
They explain
The coast, the waves
The distant view
Filled with desires
Alive with hopes
I pause, to ensure
That I am aware
Of all what the artist felt
