A white mushroom on the altar, A parasol for Buddha. Consider the nature of life and death. Green mountains walking. Stone woman gives birth to a child by night. Spagnum moss in a crib of gum bark.
Form is emptiness, emptiness form.
Buddha sits under eucalypt leaves, Grass seeds on the zabuton. In the river A tiny perfect construction A water-wheel, Turning, turning With the current. During teisho Under the chestnut tree, A butterfly pauses Wings gassho together, Orange with black spines, White dots, And flutters off. In the early morn mist Across the grass. On hands and knees to examine the mouse scats behind the cereal tubs.
