they give oxygen
to the poor souls who cannot
swim underwater
There is always something left to love.

Swim underwater,
where the grasses dance swaying,
cool and emerald.

cool and emerald,
the glint of a fish's scales
in shimmering sun

i untie the knot
and pour our "love" on the ground;
a youthful mistake

youthful mistakes: don't
make unempty promises
if they can't be filled.
When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.

Rolling in the mud
tiny broken skipping stones,
tossed by a tail-swipe.

like pond water, my
heart carries water striders:
they refuse to sink.

For in everything it is no easy task to find the middle ... anyone can get angry—that is easy—or give or spend money; but to do this to the right person, to the right extent, at the right time, with the right motive, and in the right way, that is not for everyone, nor is it easy; wherefore goodness is both rare and laudable and noble.
— Aristotle
