Evensong
Above the trees
A hawk wheels screaming
Against the azure sky
Where cloud-dragons twist and coil
About my feet
The chipmunks skitter
The sky darkens with eve
The hawk finds its nest
The cloud-dragons are gone
The chipmunks settle in their burrows
The dog barks
And appears with his owner for a walk.
Bunnies appear
Cautious and quiet
Ears atwist
Evening birds sing
A bat swoops by
I poke the fire and sparks fly up
Fireflies blink
Stars peek
Peace soaks in
May peace and joy surround you

sorority babes
returning in droves, tan, lean
herald summer's ebb

MASTER TANG'S SONG
Chicken go cluck-cluck,
Cow go moo.
Piggy go oink-oink,
how bout you?
Lemur go pff-pff,
Ostrich go baah.
Koala go arr-arr
Crow go caw.
Wanna be an animal just like you.
(This is all that remains of this ancient Chinese folksong..)
