I love this
hill here light the mountain
hidden like Fuji
in Hokusai’s sketches by a tidal wave
of fog
which collapses
over habits of
waking up coffee standing for the bus
that re-enact themselves
on every block,
re-enact
:that bus for the standing,
coffee,
waking themselves up to
habits which collapse
on every block
like a tidal wave
of Hokusai’s sketches
Hidden in fog,
the mountain
light here
this hill I love
