The smile
It looks as if a cap
Is the object moving?
Might be a turtle as well
Mist on my forehead
It's colour is pink
What is the figure seated
so close to the cap
a sparrow or a heron?
Whatever
Very often the head looks up
What does it seek?
A voice responds too
A circle of cloud now
Right by the side of the cap
Whispering in the pink ears
The brim is now a little up
All of a sudden
It starts raining
My pulse quickens
Will the cap collapse?
My goodness
Where did the stuff go?
A slender plant stands upright
wearing a childish smile
