Evening Bell from a Distant Temple

A bell in the fog
Creeps out echoing faintly
The pale broad flashes
Of vibrating twilight,
Faded gold.


A Thought

A piece of paper ready to toss in the fire,
Blackened, scrawled with fragments of an incomplete song:
My soul.


The Stars

There is a goddess who walks shrouded by day:
At night she throws her blue veil over the earth.
Men only see her naked glory through the little holes in the veil.
