This poem was written by Gesshu Soku, (1618 –1696) a Zen
monk
, while on pilgrimage, on hearing of his mother's death. He was 16 at the time. There is nothing I can say
about what is between
mother and child. Hearing of her death
,
my life is darkened. Like areed
basket
,
the years wove
us together. In the blank air
the smoke from a single incense
stick
is my last word with her. The best incense - and explanations of incense - I know of can be found at:

and
