maru kaite

cycling through
the turnabout and
back up the path
I took when I first
arrived

bizan
beautiful mountain

to the shrine I built
on the wooded corner
to the wooded god

the green sounds
crinkling overhead
the sky warped and blue
a jet-lag day

I built the shrine
where a shrine once stood
I built the shrine
from rocks I found

on the path
on my way up

maru kaite
draw a circle

warped and wrapped
back to the past
to the ground where I began
the ground where I decide on the ending

green tender shoots
of some Japanese wonder
pushing up and through

an early spring
an early ending
an early beginning
