the sound of tea: haiku of Malintha Perera

Description

“These verses are to be sipped and savored. Read them gently and then close your eyes and let your mind steep in the fragrance of the images conveyed.
“As Zhaozhou instructed: ‘Go, have some tea.’”
— from the Foreword

dew on leaves
tea cups swollen
on the rack


this material life
whisked 
tea bubbles


millions of dust
climbing a sun beam
tea space


thinking of its true colour
I let the tea
taste me
