HAIKU RAIN
for W.S. Merwin
through the bamboo forest
making friends out of clay
one who is far away
we dream them in waking
the star is fading
we invest in loss
we think about angel island
the deer that swim the channel
swimming against the current
the star is fading
we invest in loss
there is a poem in this pencil
hanging upside down
like a nuthatch
the star is fading
we invest in loss
friend the jet engine
friend the book
the look of the other
the last cheetah on earth
we have thrown away the ladder
the star is fading
we invest in loss
