photograph by Allen Ginsberg, Nara, Japan (June 1963)
Your Heart is Fine
Your heart is fine feeling the widest
possible empathy for the day and its inhabitants
Thanks for looking at the wind
in the top of the eucalyptus
dancing like someone you know
well 'I'm here I'm here I'm here!'
The wind picks up
a rush of leaves waving
wildly for your understanding
—apple, plum, bamboo
rooted and flourishing
next to your home
in the air awake
without defect
