dusky summer eve.

doesn’t fool the insect
that lands on its beak.

two wading birds
face each other so that
their reflections can chat.

crows turn to threat:
while pigeons remain
oblivious.

blossom drops,
fluttering slantwise
into still water.
Asleep on a leaf beneath lotus blooms,
Their fragrance floats across the misty lake.
Sudden rain - taps upon the canopy;
Its sound snaps me from sleep to wide awake!
The lotus is beaded with rain droplets --
Like pearls, drops roll together and apart;
The clear blobs coalesce like mercury,
Dripping to the river... back to their start.
