Quarrels End
August afternoon
Unintelligible chanting
From the temple
It was hot yesterday
But not so hot today
Sun on the sidewalk
Shading his eyes with his hand
On his way to work
The coffee shop costs too much
And gas prices have risen
Two lovers talking
On their cell phones in the night
Watching the moon rise
In the late September sky
A few clouds in the north-east
A shipment of clothes
Made in some foreign country
Arrives at the store
Just in time for the first snow
A feral cat finds a home
Surrounding the park
New developments emerge
In mountain shadows
Power lines sway in the wind
Together with the branches
Apple tree petals
Spread across the yard and street
Quickly disappear
I can't even remember
The reason why we quarreled

Before engaging in quarrels, it can be helpful to remember that the reasons for the quarrel won't be as memorable as the quarrel itself. And then, let go of the reasons and release the quarrel.
