Raining Rengay, 2023

 The Sacred Path 


temple fountain
all the different metals
in dragonflies

red finches
swirl around the pagoda

small clouds
dispersed into morning
a forgotten dream 

soft wind 
unfolding apple blossoms
on the robe

ripples in the sky
becoming winter

om mantra 
a monk by katsura river
facing the sun

John Hawkhead & Hifsa Ashraf

------

Reunion 


nighttime ripples

on the pond

a fractured moon


the breeze plays

an unfinished symphony 


crystals of light

enlarging

the space around us


moon shadow

a moth forgets 

its margins


we drift

with silent violins

   

hazy window 

overlapping 

our silhouettes


David Watts & Hifsa Ashraf 


-----


Morning Star


early dawn 

in the garden fountain 

a sparkling star 


        beady eyes

        in the holes 


bedroom windowsill 

two squirrels share  

the fresh nuts 


        owls

        in a tangle

        covid moon 


a big splash 

in the birdbath 


         hissing

        in the dark 

        baby snake 


Hifsa Ashraf & Zoe Grant
