A Day To Fly Away
from the Black Book Two
the old tree
ugly and twisted -
but with blossom? 319
about to strike
the temple bell -
the blossom waits 324
without the bell
the temple
hidden by pine, blossom 325
forest temple
before its steps -
the dirt swept clean 327
their homes
lost in evening shadow -
women still plant rice 329
sunset -
birds celebrate
another day 332
