Summary:

I bow and hand Sensei her arrows. All but one that I can't find, though I combed the long grass with my fingers. One arrow gone. Perhaps underground you hold it in your hand against the broken dawn. You are the wandering arrow, the bow unstrung. Your sudden absence has startled the partridges from the plums. --from Haiku of the Lost Arrow
