Sheds a glassy tear,
grass blade bent by dangling dew
and lashes back — all still.
One dewdrop on a
grass blade; within one, many
tiny drops of dew.
Ladybug loiters
on the sheath; which blade of grass
to take, it knows not!
Ferns, vines, shoots, creepers.
Sunlight sparkles on zephyr.
Serpent sprawls on stone.
Garden green wakes up,
earth brown shudders — a bitten
apple rolls away.
