Metanoia

summer rain...
sprinkling water on
the sizzling griddle
 
             any unjust out 
             reflecting pool

 
flooded fields 
without umbrella 
rice planting
 
             the day's dust
             butterfly stroke 
             ad astra

 
A  k  a  s  h  a    G  a  n  g  a
beyond luminous glow
 
             dried seaweed
             the happiness 
             of accidents
