a blossom falls
into the water:
i look. it’s gone.

naked branches
of the frangipani
bud with blossoms.
frangipani blooms
litter the temple walk.
sound of sweeping.
frangipani
have dropped leaves & blossoms,
& stand gnarled & nude.
twisted petals of frangipani blossoms stay one when dropping.
frangipani bloom on a barren branch; turn away, it falls.
