Fire —
the shaman brushes the
lions from ashes |
|
| |
|
| |
Guatemalan tre
es that is what the torn pap-
er read by dawn |
| |
|
Silent mountains
the five horse nuzzles its
partner |
|
| |
|
| |
Lightning —
at this moment
I have no age |
|
|
withered shadow
a roost of crows
on dry grass |
|
| |
|
| |
on the edge of silence the loon's minor key |
| |
|
a sea of fog…
the uncertainty
of sound |
|
| |
|
| |
bare branches grasping cloud the tight curl of talons |
|
|
summer solstice ...
a fleeting taste
of moonlight |
|
| |
|
| |
wind in my hair the wild voice wavers |
|
|
traces of shadow
the bitter taste
of goodbye |
|
| |
|
| |
autumn stars ...
a quiet me sounding
eternity |
|
|
take a breath,
carabao, the stillness
of dawn ... |
|
| |
|
| |
daydreams ...
what to do with
a child's heart? |
|
|
the fly
on a soldier's gun ...
perplexed |
|
| |
|
| |
this earth, before
we built clay homes ...
autumn dawn |
|
|
school visit –
my dress blues startle
some parents |
|
| |
|
| |
a world away –
she hugs
the computer monitor |
|
|
a cricket
always quiet –
when i'm near |
|
| |
|
| |
thirty-fifth day –
dad smokes
with enma daiô
(enma daiô (Skrt, Yama), ruler of the underworld in Buddhist mythology.) |
