Moon In The Bucket

A call for peace from violence of war.
Look!
Look out there
In the bucket
The rusty bucket
With water unclean.

Look!
A luminous plate is floating -
The moon, dancing to the night wind
Look! all you who shout across the wall
With a million hates. Look at the dancing moon
It is peace unsoiled by the murk
And dirt of this bucket war
