silent night—

a spider slides down

from the hunter's moon

full moon—

even the light that guides the thief

is stolen

soft music

wafts into my room

in dreams

my son’s song

plays on

scraping to survive

a guitar man

with a broken string

Resting by the river

I forget time

Embracing eternity

Alone in the library

I browse many books

That remain closed to me

A kite flies freely,

harmonising with the breeze,

its string broken,

surrendering to

the destiny of the wind.

Elephants and turtles

dance in the wind,

while lemongrass and tom yum

swirl in the air,

amidst a babel of languages.

no fishing
