\nfrom the pilgrimage to you
\nyour gentle tweezers
\n*
\ngradual rain
\npattering the willow leaves
\nher hand slips from mine
\n*
\npurple night clouds
\nbuffeting under moonlight
\nher lingering scent
\n*
\nunder winter clouds
\nthe old rook pecks at bent straw
\nthrough the scarecrow\u2019s hat
\n*
\nan acorn
\nsplit from cup to tip
\nthe newborn\u2019s hare lip<\/p>\n
