Sitting over words
M.S. Merwin – Utterance.
very late I have heard a kind of whispered sighing
not far
like a night wind in pines or like the sea in the dark
the echo of everything that has ever
been spoken
still spinning its one syllable
between the earth and silence

‘In the orchard of spring
There is neither long nor short
The heavily flowering branches grow,
Each according to its length.’

Dedicated to Thich Nhat Hanh
True friendship transcends intimacy and alienation.
Between meeting and not meeting there is no difference.
On the old plum tree, fully blossomed,
Southern branch owns the whole spring!
Northern branch owns the whole spring!
