House
Coarse brown sandals are left behind upon entering.
The women plant in the center of the room.
Warmth from the floor seeps out from under their frail legs,
quietly sitting between the paper thin walls.
House…

Game
The women attentive, patient, and occupied
play the game of 100 poets.
100 cards fill with dancing images, the other 100 with text,
Taking turns drawing, the two sit around the yamafuda stack.
Game...

Garden
The serene environment overflows with slate grey stones,
among the greenery and fluorescent fountains.
Meanwhile frogs ribbit, bugs zip across the calm water,
and shinny dragonflies flutter.
Garden…

Tranquil
The house and garden remain free from disturbance;
quiet, patient and serene.
Energy flows through the restful plants,
sending vibrant oras, synchronized and pleasant.
Tranquil…
