FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

one day
you will arrive
at an empty
house

you will
hear how it
sounds

you open
its door and
windows

you are not
a novice
to this

it is nighttime
you turn on the
lights

you bring a
cup of tea in
the garden

you sit on
a bench under
the stars

the house is
no longer
empty now

the chair
has company
under the stars

Li Po your
idol smiles.
