bound to each other

Inspired by Chiyo-Ni:

a single spider's thread
ties the duckweed
to the shore

Under the Waterfall

under the waterfall – 

the hiss of foam

softened by oak

*

under the waterfall – 

the scent of old oak

borne on the mist

*

Each Petal (Tanka)

each petal

the same as its ancestors

–  and yet – not quite –

a tear – a seam – 

and the most delicate – soars –  

Unstrung (Haiga)
