TIGER DRINKING AT FOREST POOL

 Water, moonlight, danger, dream.

Bronze urn, angled on a tree root: one
Slash of light, then gone.
 A red moon
Seen through clouds, or almost seen.


Treasure found but lost, flirting between
The worlds of lost and found.
 An unjust law
Repealed, a wish come true, a lifelong
Sadness healed.
 Haven, in the mind,

To anyone hurt by littleness.
 A prayer
For the moment, saved; treachery forgiven.

Flame of the crackle-glaze tangle, amber
Reflected in grey milk-jade.
 An old song
Remembered, long debt paid.

A painting on silk, which may fade.
