The journey

32 stages through four seasons

Spring

Gravel lines at dawn
a lone digit finds its place
the old garden stirs

Summer

Lanterns on water
two digits share one small room
the cicadas rest

Autumn

Red maple lets go
two paths cross in the twilight
one leaf stays behind

Winter

Snow upon the stones
nothing left that must be guessed
the garden is whole
