Renhai Reflections 112: The Untrue


The Untrue

A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (vs) & John W. Sexton (jws)

Chink, chink chink —
only the false water drip
of hidden blackbirds. /jws

High alpine meadow — /vs
a horse gallops his shadow. /jws

A half hour passes —
the groom leans and whispers
to the best man. /vs

Devika is right with every word. And to me, the third verse is very special. Love it.

Best wishes

Thanks for putting me out of my misery, I always hear that bird water sound and wonder who makes it.
