The Zen Space, 2022

hu mantra —
beyond breath clouds
the first light


sand dunes
contouring the footprints
of this inner journey


midsummer dreams
floating on the lake
rice paper lanterns


the point where
I decided to move on
river’s bend


after pilgrimage
the noctilucent clouds
walks me home


cloudburst—
the breaking point
of my insecurities


murmuration—
the dark shadow
of my silence
