in the wind
the temples are far away now
the caves too
in the windwent in the wind
caressing the earth
with bare feetseeking knowing
undergoing such stints
in sacred spacesin the wind
all in the windso many lovers
such wonderful secret smiles
skin shining so soft beyond velvetso many memories
touching feeling each taste
as if yesterday as if last nightin the wind
all in the windi’ve lived my life in the wind
went in the wind so young
these years going in the wind tooHimalayas Sierras Appalachians
behind now looking out from
my fourth floor one room walk upabove a noodle factory
backstreet Kyoto canal below
such brief shining beautythis riot of cherry blossoms
for the heart the eyes the spirit
before rains and wind take themtake all
our white hairs
our longing skin tooin the wind
all in the wind
