Reading in circles by the lake watching
a lone bee settles on a puddle
birds using the shore as a bath
while a stream flows into the lake
which drains by river to the sea.

1000 Light-Years From Here and Now
Over the lake, you pointed at the Swan.
Deneb, brightest star in the constellation Cygnus,
and one of the most distant stars
we can see with the eye alone.
I am 1000 light-years from you now.
Yearning
Two darker shadows in the night lake
watch the still, white, naked moon sleeping
on a rippling forest just above them.
They are in pain with love, desire –
yearning for something they believe is real.
