Sit With Me

“See with your eyes! Listen with your ears! And if you wish to smell the fragrance, press for an explanation of every unresolved matter until your understanding is complete.“

- 

Sen No Rikyu 

Come

sit with me

let’s talk

I see how upset 

you are

I sense 

indifference 

It seems only past

intimacies

hold us together

I know that

can’t be

true

I know you

I want to fix

this

This thing

This unresolved

thing

This bad seed

germinating

Let’s blow

our combined breath

upon it

as we would

cool our tea

Let this gulf

dissolve 

as the steam rising

from our cups

Come

sit with me

let’s

talk

and

Skywriting - intimacies

Delayed

Seasons are infinite

Each station on

the wheel of Nature

inviolable

Even as we mourn

spring initiates herself

with the coming of the green 

Though she be late

she never fails

Does our memory fail us?

We still weep while waiting

though her warmth

will come!

Tomorrow
