Seasonal Lake
[Verse]
Almost too careless, my foot nearly stepped
on the wilting mushrooms of a fairy ring.
In the dry lakebed of summer,
the fallen reeds and bare scrub twigs cracked
[Verse]
like potsherds underfoot as I walked
in the bottom of this bowl of land.
The horizon ends a hundred paces from me
on every side.
[Chorus]
Every year, the seasonal lake fills
then ebbs away. Every year again,
friends and people exit from our lives
as casually as they had entered it.
[Verse]
But the rains have come, and the
hundred paces of my sky are filled
with sodden clods of cloud reflected from
this brown lake of no inlets and no outlets.
[Verse]
The salamanders sun themselves
at the edge of the water.
A heron lands and nods his head, then flies
above the trees.
Lagunita,
[Chorus]
Every year, the seasonal lake fills
then ebbs away. Every year again,
friends and people exit from our lives
as casually as they had entered it.
[Conclusion]
the rains have come again to scatter
the blossoms of the reddening plum.
Until summer comes again, may you dream
of fishes swimming in your freshly fallen waters.
[Harp Ending]
then ebbs away. Every year again,
friends and people exit from our lives
as casually as they had entered it.
[Ending Verse]
the rains have come again to scatter
the blossoms of the reddening plum.
Until summer comes again, may you dream
of fishes swimming in your freshly fallen waters.
