the bush warbler's cry
my boat is green
--Shioto Takei
ほうほけきょ私の舟はミドリ色 竹井紫乙
ほうほけきょ: "hoo-hokekyo"; the onomatopoeia for the sound a Japanese bush warbler makes, so:
hoo-hokekyo
my boat
is green

sunshine on sleet

I spent about 15 minutes turning this around in my head while attempting to meditate this morning . . . time well spent.
Wrote it down, looked again, and changed "landscape" to "silence."
