Kimberly Montoya
Born
in Texas, 1965. A potter and multimedia artist,
Kimberly Montoya turned her eye seriously to
creating haiku and short poetry in November
1999, and tied for 1st place in The Shell Game
Competition #28 at Aha poetry.com
in February 2000, under the penname We'moon. Always
a devotee of functional art, applying her poetry
to photos or other artworks was a natural progression
for Ms Montoya. Using stock photos she
created some experimental photo haiga but there
seemed to be something essential missing in
it.
" The collaboration with Kato-san is proving to be that missing link. Dynamic
discussion within the creative process of his photography and my writing provides
an essential freshness and completeness to the work."

dusk
white snail shells suddenly bright
in the dead leaves
June dusk
the leafcutter bee
†makes her last delivery
still evening
a leafless twig moves
stick insect
sunset breeze
between slanting shadows
patter of raindrops
so quiet
even the cat's ears
are still
