Deep Night In the Water Bucket
Night leaks from the water-bucket.
A darkness flowing over
a bedraggled lily bloom
in the water bucket.
The black water is full,
you can hardly see the flower
only the moon shines in the water.
The large flower-head floats,
the buoyant moon keeps it
from sinking,
Night shadows drown
in the deep water.
Where the moon is not -
no water, no blossom.
