1 I Have Seen
1} I have seen
full moon
Japanese lantern floats
above an
azure sea
in my left hand
a paper dragon
folded with love
and wonder
in my right hand
crane about to fly
wings agape
filled with wind
from China comes the
blow of lift into a waiting
sky with lights, firecracker
hopes, from the prayerful
I do not know their names
but dragon and crane
what magic they hold
or why they came
to my mind this trembling night
freedom rolls a thunderous clap
they leap from my hands
and open the trap.
