Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

(The story:)
A child, he strolled into the forbidden garden and listened to its floral, fungal, lophophoral and ayahuascan inhabitants. To humans, he talked about what he had gathered in these excursions. It's hardly ever the plants who forbid entry, he said, the flaming-sword angel was installed only by human grandiosity. It's not all paradise either, he continued, you'd better learn to tiptoe around some areas. He was certain that the current disconnect made us less than we originally were. Sadly, the highway of reason features no roundabouts or off-ramps, leads to uninhabitable wastelands. He remained optimistic for he saw our toy highways only as fancy ornaments in a garden far larger than human comprehension. Once play-time is up, we will re-emerge in the real.

(The poem:)
this one talks through his nostrils
for only the nosy apes will know
about bright, invisible landscapes
their tree is rooted in, deeply

this one is water walking the desert
to sit with, to dance with, to listen
to fountains and mountains, to mushroom
mycelium, to planets and plants

this one creates convergence
twixt a species lost and relations found
the thin line dividing terror and awe
has to be crossed for healing, for good

nod to terence

Seen In The Sunlight (naviarhaiku529) - Adrian Lane

A distant mountain
Seen in the sunlight:
A desolate field

Takahama Kyoshi was a Japanese poet active during the Shōwa period of Japan. He was the editor of the haiku magazine Hototogisu (previously edited by Shiki), where he promoted a more traditional style of haiku, as opposed to other popular schools which did not follow the pattern of seventeen syllables at that time.

Kyoshi also highlighted the symbolic function of the kigo (the seasonal reference), even though the more modern trends were already tending towards seasonless haiku.
