n a m b u l i n e s


for 2 days the 2 of us see a man enter the car
and peel off, discard the warning signs from the train doors


two doors open

beside us the monk giving dharma talk on the smartphone
next to the man reading asleep
next to the sleeping woman
head lolled so far back
I see her fillings

kurasai

we pass Fuji but never see it

below us two buddhas are fishing

today we found a hornet dying


far from the flooded fields
two doors open

the scale oscillates
sleeping, awake
clearly we are damaged

all the while i hold the grip
and think of Jupiter's storms
