sesshin ends

windows shut
curtains drawn

from the paddies
sunlight pouring in

screeching of cicadas
pouring in

no one inside
no one
outside

left the dweller
nowhere a dwelling

in praise

in waves

golden

to no end

pouring in

7 november 2016, ubud
heavy
with morning rain
rice ears
bend over soil

blade soon shall
run to your arms

that you will perish
and have life eternal

glimpses of grace
you are

life
without inside
outside

full
