lover’s kiss-
the stone lion blushed
with fallen magnolia

a koi slips
beneath the reflection
winter sky

a koi
noses the lily pad–
July afternoon

The woman is very thin.
She stoops and gathers pebbles
to place on the corners of a cloth
she has placed on the floor
of the museum courtyard.
She practices her steps.

She is skinny
for a reason:
dancer

eroded sacred rock–
looking through life
framed by holes

Between the water, the trees, the courtyard walls: is the body’s breathing in…out…in … now Looking, find the courtyard’s wall perimeter; base to top – Holding: I AM the whole space
inside outside within the courtyard cup:    I      can     be    being
be the air – my being: the fullness of… awareness fills the courtyard cup space.
