whisking tea

Stephen Fox
seamless sky
winter water
whisking tea
side by side
offering, receiving
stars drift down
moonless
winter rain
tea bowls passed
no dream
whisking tea
voice of the kettle*
winter chill
sweeping the tea room
vows renewed

Response to
whisking tea
by
Takashi Nonin
rustling snow on the bamboos
voice of the kettle-
silence reigns
crisp ringing welkin
golden balls of tangerines
going to temple to tea
Fresh verdure-
quaff off its colour
whisking tea in the open
out of tea-arbour
into evening winter rain-
couple in love
soft body in kimono
slithers to the guest
with a cup of clay
-Takashi

the tea continues

zuiho
not a dream
out in the dark rain
koto
morning tea
offering its fragrance
a pine bough
beyond the hearth
winter chill
deeper day by day
whisking serenity
tea wind
zuiho
*(matsukaze, pine wind=the sound
of the tea kettle)
