an egret stands:
 still of body,
  but not of eye.

along the seashore,
 everything is in motion,
  but the crow's eye.

the dragonfly
is still, and I wonder
whether it's dead,
and further wonder whether
anyone has thought that of me

under the tree sits
a potential Buddha;
human mimics tree

a dragonfly
alights on a boulder,
zipping to stillness

lost in ocean awe,
still enough that fish gather
in one's shadow

branch-draped moss
high in the treetops:
wind wiggled

the boat sits
as if the scene were painted
in shades of blue

still river,
mirroring the colors
of autumn

robe-wrapped tree,
standing like an old monk
teaching stillness
