the renku pond

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


silence ...
another frog in the
renku pond



This was inspired by friends writing renku in the HH.







Here is the full sequence, which evolved spontaneously
over night with
lmp (Linda Papanicolaou), moi (Moira Richards), _k (Kala Ramesh)
and ke (Kathy Earsman)




silence ...
another frog in the
renku pond / Gabi

spring breeze in the roof thatch
of the hermitage / lmp

all packed
for the pilgrimage
paper, brush, saijiki /moi

falling into the space between
the stepping stone / _k

moonlight gathers
in the mist where trees
used to be /ke

one last cricket singing
in the gecko cage / lmp





Thank you very much, dear friends,
for this precious gift.

Gabi, March 2009
