I sit upon the porch of the garden

My box, my cage

my small delight


A breeze pats my cheek

as I raise my gaze

to the red leaves

of the momiji tree


It stands in the center

with a half ring of camellias

blossoming beside it


Its long branches

sway in the wind

as fingers do

when weaving silk threads


In the frame of my mind

I glimpse a fragment

of an image


A small dusty room

with a lingering scent

of lacquer

but with a loom

seated within


The steady sound of weaving

knocking, echoing
