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
