The
Gazebo Light Show at Harbin
I
looked up
from
down one flight of steps,
from
in front of the restaurant doors,
and
saw the shimmery, white
under-roof
of the Harbin Gazebo
Dance-reflecting
its fountain's movements
on
that rainy night.
Went
to bed,
with
rain on my head …
As
I walked in in the morn,
the
long way around,
from
across the creek,
near
the Res Center,
on
up the road
to
the village path,
and
then through the woods
to
the pools,
for
to see things and to hike,
it
was three turkeys,
on
the bubbling, creek side of the road,
one
male,
with
white head and red underface,
and
a little blue in there too -
so
colorful, vivid, clear and bright,
thanks
to nature on this moist morning -
that
inspired me to write this,
catalyzed
by the
Magnificent,
shimmery light
of
the Gazebo under-roof
on
a rainy night,
which
I had never seen before,
at
light-filled Harbin.
As
I walked on,
I
stepped into
one
of Harbin's nice, new
bathrooms
for campers,
and
for the people of
the
(somewhat new) canvas-covered Domes,
popping
up on the Harbin hillsides, -
like little,
puffball mushrooms, in the rain, -
near
the Harbin, bubble Domes' junction,
to
write,
since
smartphone use
at
Harbin isn't allowed,
except
in parking lots,
to
which this bathroom is near.
These
new restrooms are beauts:
3,
orange-globe, light fixtures,
suggestive
of apples in shape,
and
a decorative, ceramic, sink basin, -
blue,
green and flowery,
with
a little orange here in there, too, -
and
shimmery, silver, upper walls, in tile,
with
one sun - a rise or set - in orange tiles,
at
the horizon, at midriff's height,
with
blue tiles below
~~~
and spacious ~~~
with
only a toilet, and no shower,
and
six, blue, ceramic nobbies,
on
the double-decker, 3-prong, coat rack,
an
earthen-orange floor below,
and
one rectangular skylight,
high above.
high above.
Walked
on to the pools …
~~~
~~~ ~~~
Disconnect
and soak, and
tune
into the lands and the waters.
Waters
flow upward here,
and
earth’s energies too …
while
things bubble around …
reconnecting
with
what
comes up,
in
the oneness which is Harbin.
On
into the waters
from
O:) that night’s Gazebo show …
O:),
the light, the watery light.
