    crisscross breezes--
    moored boats in harbor
    turning helter skelter

    raging waves at beach
    my heart calm
    as the nearby sand

    yosa buson
     
     he's on the porch,
    to escape the wife and kids--

    Rising ocean waves
    Collapsing in exhaustion
    Only to try again.

    sheltered on my porch
    island coyote

    heat and more heat
    these days inspire
