The camelia tips,
the remains of last night's rain
splashing out

The Birds Have Vanished
The birds have vanished into the sky,
and now the last cloud drains away.
We sit together, the mountain and me,
until only the mountain remains.
--Li Po
Above the boat,
bellies
of wild geese.
--Kikaku
From the bough
floating down river,
insect song.
--Issa
I love " . . .until only the mountain remains."

from deep within the peony
departs reluctantly
--Basho
