Omen
Quiet, the bamboo grove—
from each drooping leaf-tip hangs
a drooping dewdrop...
The same footprints,
coming and going, coming and going,
along the long trek path,
changing shape,
uniformly...
Naked feet tapping down the steps,
I halt—the pond in dawn-chill haze...
Mynahs a dozen—
hop, hop, hop, pick...hop, hop, pick—
dewdrops on wet grass...
And in the visitor’s room,
the chair tilted at this angle,
I see,
reflected on the window pane,
the entire stretch of an empty corridor—
Surely, a great omen!
