Bells

“The temple bell stops but I still here the sound coming out of the flowers”
Matsue Basho





Her bells toll
In the temple
that is her body
The sounds echo
in her bones
Memories
 both wonderful and profane
in equal measure
Lest she forget




“Ellecee”




Inspired by today’s prompt from

imaginary garden with real toads

    The bells in the body-temple will call us when we need them most.
