Rainstorm

 
 
 

rainstorm at sundown—
 
a terra-cotta pot fills
 
almost to the brim

Note

 
 
 

terracotta pot—
 
on its broken edge one note
 
from the blackbird’s song

Floating

 
 
 

terracotta pot—
 
three cherry blossoms floating
 
in the dark water

Tea

 
 
 

Someone else’s hands
 
brewed this morning’s pot of tea—
 
bitter every sip.
