Unsayable Pride
How proud and unmoving this winter oak
which stands erect, alone, glorifying itself--
those flaked leaves mocking autumn's request.
I observe such chilled indifference, arrogant like me
who cannot twirl like a warm bamboo and display
tender intimacies in any human relation. Aloof,
I cannot find kindness to share my own shade.
