cherry blossoms
I fold my resume
into a crane
(haiga)
Month: August 2011
yoshino cherry tree—
it was never a question
of if
perched
at the tip
of summer
red-winged
blackbird
garden hose a silver arc reaches the last cabbage
box spring
new sheets
old lovers
in the park
pigeons peck in front of
empty benches
white water rafting
we spin around
our laughter
first recital
all the ballerinas out of step
(haiga)
zen garden
one rock
out of place
garden wall
behind the snail
its long noon shadow
ceiling mirror
between screams I see
my child being born
sun-baked dust–
the one thing moving
is my neighbour?s tongue
a crossword puzzle
side by side my parents
Carnival Elephant
I lifted a single peanut up to the great animal. … (haibun continues)
flurries of willow fluff
seven ducklings scatter
among the reeds
wind through the pines
your hair
falling off my shoulder
alone tonight
the stillness
between stars
delta breeze
an old, old song
from the ice cream man
how casually
a brown bird
catches a butterfly
in its beak
and flies away
it happens every year
but still
the woods filled with birdsong
