The Suchness Pond, in January


i)
moss on stone, pebbles for water
the thin Winter light, seeding just enough
to keep the stillness moving

ii)
the sun is cold among periwinkles
long arms of driftwood, stretching out
towards the Infinite

iii)
the bamboo rustle in the January wind
the sharp cawing of crows
of old Japan, or England
