“The dancer...knows it takes
Ten sacred years to learn one gesture
Of the wind’s caress on the skin of water.
Tonight, in the shadows of our dance,
I tell my soul to grow quiet,
Become lake, reflect unbroken moon.
On the deepest part of the lake,
A solitary fisher paddles his oars.
At the shore, a woman in red sarong
Sings: their longing walks on water.”

“There is a season to this ripening,
the way sap of tree rises to fulfill
fruit of the topmost branch,
or the motion of jasmine
climbing trellises to show off
a single blossom to a new moon tide.
...Yes, there is
reason for this ripening.
You are goldened by my tongue.”

“This paper is a crane.
When its wings unfold,
The paper will be pure and empty.”
