I'm reminded of the poet's words,
“Keep money and honor away from you,”
and tonight
I'm tempted to indulge.
What a life without temptation?

The meaning of all existence is to help the activity of love.

Lines.

When proofreading poems
more
happier than when I write.

You and I

You are the mountain
I am the sea

We met

As time passed

I am the mountain
You are the sea

We met again

The place
Where you and I met
Became a meadow.

Two trees
Cannot see each other
Cannot touch each other
Cannot receive pollen from each other
Cannot approach each other
Cannot entangle each other
Cannot hear each other's song
A silent winter forest
A bridge connecting them
A flow of air
begins with the flapping
of a bird's wings
When they touch each other
The caress of love begins.

water purifier
Ice fragments pouring
from the plastic box
and filling the cup
make a sound
becoming water
To be the blood of lovers
their songs sing
not to turn one
but the sacrificial passion
and an offering of love offered
by two of one.
