impossible possibility




does a dry rose

ever provide a throne

for a buzzing bee



can a drooping flower

carry in its bosom

drops of sweet honey

for a fluttering butterfly



will a hermit’s heart

ooze love

and rhythmically dance

to a young woman’s music

Tiger


Among all the animals I like tiger the best
She is ferocious
She is pretty
She is kind

In the forest the tiger is not the first in command
But she moves very swiftly
And perhaps she is the only animal
That can neither be tamed nor domesticated

Among all the animals I like tiger the best
She has the strength
She has the stripes
She has the will

In the forest the tiger is the most feared animal
For she pounces from afar
But never misses the target
For she has known that art from her childhood days

Among all the animals I like tiger the best
She is a symbol of self-determination
She is a symbol of resistance
She is a symbol of freedom
