shun ya ta

across winter plains
distances disguised
in city lights
scintilate
in darkness

mel
bourne
mirage
aflare

grass and yew trees
where moist is deep
eucalyptuses too
enter a gate where
maples and oaks
fade away in silence

remembering
forgetting
are one

one
to be
with dwarf stars
unborn spaces
