white light from shore to shore even the heron has flown
tempslibres
moving in... a child's growth in inches under old wallpaper
tempslibres
the hush of snow coffee bubbling on grandpa's pot-bellied stove
tempslibres
a funeral pyre of autumn leaves winter moves in
tempslibres
approaching storm the last magpie takes flight
tempslibres
shifting light the grey heron and I in deep reflection
tempslibres
after the rush hour at the intersection only rain
tempslibres
December morning the scent of coffee beans and cinnamon toast
tempslibres
boys on the town which statue will wear a traffic cone
tempslibres
hospice tea... for a moment Mother remembers my name
tempslibres
summer love a sudden blush on her pallid cheeks
tempslibres
into the silence the piercing wail of the night express
tempslibres
the racing heart of a startled deer... blood moon
tempslibres
midnight... the steady rhythm of her IV drip
tempslibres
storm warning... the first rustle of trembling leaves
tempslibres
midsummer night the scent of woodsmoke drifting through laughter
tempslibres
ploughing contest... the farm horse wearing a scarecrow's hat
tempslibres
derelict house but with the morning sunshine
tempslibres
shaking sky... in the wheatfield a scurry of mice
tempslibres
autumn languor the soft shadows of dying roses
tempslibres
summer picnic my daughter's shadow wearing daisies
tempslibres
monsoon... beyond the rush of sound the silence of birds
tempslibres
deep into winter... the remembered scent of lemongrass
tempslibres
on the far side of early morning silence a gathering of crows
tempslibres
whole day at the department-store - house in shopping-cart
tempslibres
storm clouds - mother searches for candles
tempslibres
lavender blooms next to the violets in a blue pot
tempslibres
stars a full pool in the garden
tempslibres
frigid job site - the cement mixer wheezes to life
tempslibres
moonlit our cell phones charging side by side
tempslibres
through closed eyelids lightning strikes my dream
tempslibres
from a mirror pale blue eyes stare knowingly the snow will deepen
tempslibres
prairie roads in ditches full of snowmelt moons float
tempslibres
a kitten... will it too forget its first snow?
tempslibres
full moon night... starting the camp fire with a page of fashion magazine
tempslibres
a new cellphone... so many people to talk to till the battery dies
tempslibres
"out of the city " so many stars
unnamed
late summer rain -- two kids break the bottles under the bridge
tempslibres
acorn falls the sound of rain continues
tempslibres
the moon in every puddle the same
tempslibres
Falling leaves I already miss you This winter
tempslibres
children voices from under the grass concrete bunker
tempslibres
white mountains as quick as it can train passes by
tempslibres
campfire ~ steaming pot and shoes
tempslibres
raking the leaves ~ wind blows the wrong way
tempslibres
hot beach sand... between my fingers a cigarette butt
tempslibres
between the second and the third line - short trip to bathroom
tempslibres
dentist's office - cracks between tiles filled with dirt
tempslibres
after a cold night a cup of coffee - "oh
man!"
Xmas away from home - B-52 pilot dressed as Santa
tempslibres
hedgehog in the fog looking for apples under the wrong tree
tempslibres
autumn deepens— a fish slides down the cormorant’s throat
tempslibres
milky scent of the calf’s breath— morning moon
tempslibres
feathers in the fire . . . a cardinal’s song between thunderclaps
tempslibres
late frost warmth of the tea mug against my cheek
tempslibres
library return her hand's warmth lingers in the book
tempslibres
cloudless sky the gleam of fresh lemons in a blue bowl
tempslibres
rotten apples we let the storm pick them
tempslibres
end of summer we no longer know what sleeps in the barn
tempslibres
after the postman -- nothing in the mailbox except a lizard
tempslibres
November afternoon the insistent bell of an ice cream vendor
tempslibres
van gogh's blue irises "hangs on a wall with"
other gardens
things come and go <> raindrops on the pine
tempslibres
my stone Buddha sits in the dark <> "snow
snow
midday heat under the shade tree an empty chair
tempslibres
A lull in the storm -- the woodpecker darts to another tree.
tempslibres
The thyme has gone to seed -- summer's end.
tempslibres
cherry petals flying higher and higher - storm in my valley
tempslibres
a cup of tea and a koan to go - my cold morning
tempslibres
severe frost - the sparkling whiteness of my brown roof
tempslibres
autumn deepens - I wonder what my neighbour is writing today ?!
tempslibres
voices of autumn - the patter of raindrops on my rooftiles
tempslibres
first cicada - the hot day seems even hotter
tempslibres
red poppy dolls sit alone by the beach - dead children of Tohoku
tempslibres
politicians play the same old games - long rainy season

earthquake night - the stars are as silent as ever

table 4 2 - a romance reduced to numbers
tempslibres
cold sunshine - the icicles refuse to melt

cold night - the deeper levels of dreams and fears
tempslibres
when celsius and farenheit meet - cold night
tempslibres
New Year's morning - I wipe some dirt from my glasses
tempslibres
blizzard - the heavy weight of snowflakes
tempslibres
menopause - she even quarrels with the autumn moon
tempslibres
fighting the summer heat - no time for poetry
tempslibres
the future deep in the tea leaves ... spring growth
tempslibres
first firefly - the moon also shows his face
tempslibres
wisteria blossoms . . . the faint memories of grandmother's lace
tempslibres
daybreak - - light and shadow on the apricot blossoms
tempslibres
how black ! dirt on the last patch of snow
tempslibres
rainy day - I finally finished the Spring Saijiki
tempslibres
computer crash ... I wish I were this butterfly
tempslibres
my daily bread on the empty table ... spring equinox
tempslibres
old plum tree in bossom ... last year the old owner died
tempslibres
moonlight on the temple roof - and silence
tempslibres
autumn equinox - all the crows celebrating with grave offerings
tempslibres
the dance of echoes inside a crypt . . . winter chill
tempslibres
dinner outside ... the crumbs walk along the brick wall
tempslibres
a tiny world unfolds and thrives - summer rain
tempslibres
the backyard of a poor man's home ... summer heat
tempslibres
more rain - lavender leans on the stone Buddha
