kanji man teach me the tiger's pillow
give me nights without windows
and hide the bosom of winter behind

lest my craving her taunt temptations
bends the steal of my rails
and splinters my hardness to laughter

vicar of the jade cadence
hold me solemn as your forests
press my face to north winds

and seal my eyes with new moss
lest my passions be unraveled
when her whispers melt my water

and I am face down in her rivering

For some reason, this sounds
like the tone of bells to me...

deep and resonating...

smiling at you.

I hear snow melting
and renewal
and awe
a touch of fear, even

This has a feeling tinged with tough, yet soft all wrapped into one.  Very nicely done, sir.
