Serenaded by a stray bird or two.
Kings and commoners end up the same,
No more enduring than last night's dream.

Are exhausted
I slip into the woods
And gather
A pile of shepherd's purse.

Like the little stream
Making its way
Through the mossy crevices
I, too, quietly
Turn clear and transparent.

Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days' worth of rice in my bag;
a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.

Listening to the night rain on my roof,
I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.
