HAIKU
Assemblage 1: in sunlight
|
obliterated
in sunlight buddha's features
and old strawberries |
|
|
|
|
unwaveringly there
with the stone she would cradle
in the clear water |
|
|
a headless kouros
ever lightly advancing
the left foot of stone |
|
|
|
|
the rain song of our broken machine grief |
|
|
the same blazing blue sky obscurity |
|
|
|
|
ocean without end
no one no one no one no
one |
|
|
Our woods are half dressed
in fragile buds as dandelions
sprout from nowhere. |
|
|
|
|
fading day –
in the blue cry of peacocks
the light of unformed things |
|
|
night wind in the northern woods in the wake of no one |
|
|
|
|
all night rain –
the tattoo
of dreams |
|
|
ghosts drifting
back to the borderline world —
fragile Mekong dawn |
|
|
|
|
clear autumn —
the name of a flower
cut into stone |
|
|
season of petals on a bare branch |
|
|
|
|
night trip to the city of ghosts my past |
|
|
fourteen summers bareback on a quarter horse |
|
|
|
|
grey water —
part of a footprint
left on the moon |
|
|
It is the white hour
between deep night and soft dawn.
Even the wren stares. |
