Evening Excavations
At dawn my violets grew aslant; a hole!
tunneled underneath them by a mole!

In a Temple Garden
The Old Green Pond is silent.
Here, the hop of a frog
plumbs the evening silence: Plop!

The downpour prickles on the pond,so sharp
it hits the heads of shallow floating carp.

| Winter's end |
Glimpsed through a crevice in
the garden fence,
one white flower is spring's
impermanence.

Snow
All Heaven and Earth Flowered white obliterate...
Snow...unceasing snow
