Wabi-sabi
I: cherry blossoms
wither in morning sun
whither life is bound
II: rain washed
worn steps to temple
tight-fitting sandals
III: passersby drop coins
in dented singing bowl
gnarled fingers
IV: anamnesis
details in kaleidoscope
a raked zen garden
V: the Geisha forgets
the words to the poem
celebrating life
VI: yellowed photograph
of ranked benefactor
caked white makeup
VII: crushed cherry blossoms
stained hem of kimono
asymmetric blotch
