Three fluffy Sparrows
perched on a bare Willow branch
A cold snowy dawn
A view looking East -
slopes dusted with fresh white snow
mountain to mountain
Mind empty of thought
A sky of criss-cross jet streaks
Transparent white clouds

This morning thick snow
balanced on every branch
and pine needle
A cool clean darkness -
moon in a thousand pieces
the river current
