summer squash and ginger
on the cushion
noticing the breath
waiting for the same bubble
to rise to the surface
of the still water
it breaks open
scenting the air with
summer squash and ginger
sends ripples across
the pond
it comes
as sure as moonrise
as regular as the eventide
fills me with longing
unsettles me
so I return
to noticing the breath
let the next bubble burst
without fragrance
without sound
