a monkey listens
to his own breath . . .
autumn rain | tempslibres |
watching
my wife's ashes float by. . .
autumn moon | tempslibres |
memories of you
in rice field shadows . . .
september moon | tempslibres |
incoming tide . . .
your breasts
rise and fall | tempslibres |
humid morning . . .
planting rice in a
field of mirrors | tempslibres |
your reflection
floating in a tea cup
too hot to drink | tempslibres |
harvest moon . . .
a new song in
the rice field | tempslibres |
a laborer
sowing dreams
in a field of stars | tempslibres |
"come morning
"
fish scales and the letter | you didn't send |
laborers sink
into the rice field
.. . . autumn dusk | tempslibres |
lanternless night . . .
a woman too old
to dream | tempslibres |
morning haze . . .
a post office clerk
opening letters | tempslibres |
morning twilight
. . . the rice field
in her eyes | tempslibres |
sunday morning . . .
her shadow
on a clothesline | tempslibres |
harvest moon . . .
a shadow
sorting laundry | tempslibres |
passing dreams . . .
the night scented
with laundry soap | tempslibres |
a cockroach
in my rice bowl . . .
unaware of dawn | tempslibres |
autumn cool . . .
wondering what an ant thinks
about after work | tempslibres |
"in the clouds
"
a fish i haven't | seen before |
"ah
crickets!"
the neighbors ceased | playing mahjong |
summer rain . . .
the mountain sinks
into a rice field | tempslibres |
high noon . . .
fish in the marketplace
gasping for water | tempslibres |
the stillness of
a moth that didn't
reach the moon | tempslibres |
petals pressed
between pages of a book
i never read | tempslibres |
short night . . .
thoughts of you and
a paper thin moon | tempslibres |
speaking
to her ashes
between summer moons | tempslibres |
humid day---
her t-shirt refuses
to dry | tempslibres |
day moon---
her skin a half
shade lighter | tempslibres |
memories of her
floating in a leftover
cup of tea | tempslibres |
summer grass---
my mother's
rice paper skin | tempslibres |
moonless night---
remembering
her small breasts | tempslibres |
twilight
watching my shadow
float downriver | tempslibres |
sipping more than
just tea----
the moon in passing | tempslibres |
eyeing
the apple
at buddha's feet | tempslibres |
"the farmer
"
planting corn under | a pregnant moon |
drunk tonight---
an elixir of cherry blossoms
and moonlight | tempslibres |
his shadow
passes me by---
the charcoal seller | tempslibres |
the potter's fingers
wet with clay---
first rain | tempslibres |
saying the rosary
a laborer
planting rice | tempslibres |
rainy night---
her phone number
in my wallet | tempslibres |
cold night
the clink of bottles
in a grocery cart | tempslibres |
contemplating
nightfall---
the stone buddha | tempslibres |
the offering
in front of the stone buddha
eaten by cats | tempslibres |
"between two rivers
"
the echo of | his mallet |
sunday afternoon---
a steam train
pushes back the fog | tempslibres |
eating rice---
how many stars are
in the sky ? | tempslibres |
falling leaves---
a trail of clothing
leads to the bed | tempslibres |
"biting his nails
"
a little boy watches | the outgoing tide |
cold night---
my reflection
sipping coffee | tempslibres |
moon viewing---
warming my hands
with a cup of coffee | tempslibres |
all hallows eve---
stars paint the
cemetery ground | tempslibres |
all saints day---
spent candles
in the cemetery | tempslibres |
dark clouds---
a student drawing
with charcoal | tempslibres |
egrets
plucking shadows
at dusk | tempslibres |
fading this
autumn night---
the heron's legs | tempslibres |
sculpting
"clay
the potter" | at dawn |
master wind
sweeping the temple
zealously | tempslibres |
house cleaning---
the forest fire
at dawn | tempslibres |
metal birds
fly south to the
forest fire | tempslibres |
even my pee
stays inside this
cold winter night | tempslibres |
snowfall---
a milk mustache
on my daughter's face | tempslibres |
geese honking---
children in the
bathtub playing | tempslibres |
"lakeside
"
below the egret--- | a city of lights |
thousands of miles
"away
her first birthday---" | fresh mango |
swimming across
the moonlit sky---
a gray carp | tempslibres |
half moon
darkness drinking from an
alabaster teacup | tempslibres |
floating
down river
an egret's shadow | tempslibres |
dried wheat grass---
a bleached blond
combing her hair | tempslibres |
no stars
in the sky tonight
hungry carp | tempslibres |
burning leaves
this foggy evening---
two kinds of smoke | tempslibres |
waiting for winter---
eating rice balls
under a full moon | tempslibres |
"scooping steamed rice
"
the laborer | at sundown |
windswept afternoon---
tea scent
on my tongue | tempslibres |
"thank you
mango---"
for a moment i was | somewhere else |
passing cars
replace sheep
this sleepless night | tempslibres |
reoccurrence
of cancer ---
no spring this year | tempslibres |
along the tracks
"in the dark
to where" | the candles are |
returning light
a robin
sings and sings | tempslibres |
hospice window
the roar of the spring tide
receding | tempslibres |
only the winter
chrysanthemums remain
morning moon | tempslibres |
the red cap
of a green woodpecker. . .
first flakes of snow | tempslibres |
how else to know
the shape of the breeze
dancing blossoms | tempslibres |
winter solstice
each day the boy's smile
wider | tempslibres |
news of his death
the winter jasmine wreathed
in mist | tempslibres |
season of mists. . .
a calling of wild geese
arrows south | tempslibres |
amber leaves
caught between 'for sale'
and 'sold' | tempslibres |
old manor house
each empty room has
its own echo | tempslibres |
slender grasses
and warm summer rain
touching the buddha | tempslibres |
into dusk
the white rose
still whiter | tempslibres |
heat lightning—
the first drop of sweat
on her chin | tempslibres |
morning mist
green tips of onions
cracking the soil | tempslibres |
equinox—
the double ferris wheel
across the lake | tempslibres |
through a train window—
the blurs of lifetimes
on walls of graffiti | tempslibres |
pre-dawn silence
a Greyhound bus
shifts gears | tempslibres |
hard freeze—
lingering steam
from a new-born calf | tempslibres |
becoming dusk
"rooftop to treetop
" | the echo of crows |
night bus stop
the plop of a Styrofoam cup
and swirl of coffee | tempslibres |
lengthening days
even the morning glory
a shade bluer | tempslibres |
long afternoon
the occasional tapping
of a screen door | tempslibres |
"cold
foggy night—"
only the echo | of a buoy's bell |
