There is nothing you can see that is not a flower; there is nothing you can think that is not the moon.

“In the pale light of daybreak the gravestones looked like so many white sails that would never again be filled with wind, sails that, too long unused and heavily drooping, had been turned into stone just as they were. The boats' anchors had been thrust so deeply into the dark earth that they could never again be raised.”

Bokusui Wakayama, from “At my side”; The Penguin Book of Japanese Verse (ed. by Anthony Thwaite)

à cause du bruit

je sais presque me taire

je sais rester en place

à regarder les nuages qui passent

j'oublie le vent

souffle sur le temps et les mots

et j'observe avec prudence

le repos des oiseaux
