Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #44 Troiku Challenge: Against The Sky
before the white chrysanthemum
the scissors hesitate
a moment
calligraphy of geese
against the sky —
the moon seals it
(C) Yosa Buson (Tr. Robert Hass)
against the sky
calligraphy of geese
a moments hesitation
against the sky
cumulus clouds
blot the sun
calligraphy of geese
break thru sea of white –
ink stains on paper
a moment’s hesitation
summer blossoms rebloom
autumn encroaches
