First poem I wrote, I'm visiting Ryoko-in.
Just visiting.
And sent as a gift is this one.
It's called "For Kobori-san".
"Closed in your garden where the lost wheel shines.
The heart pulled arrows lie covered with moss.
Stone unlit lanterns beneath ancient pines
insist silence be green to scroll its shrines.
We drink cold tea while centuries toss our happy words
into their wordless lines."
