rolling hills . . .
autumn settles differently
on each one
Month: November 2018
bone density …
the broken stems
of sunflowers
downsizing
sunflowers blooming
in a bronze vase
no more politics
dead-heading
the day-lilies
morning fishing
we circle around
the same subjects
silence
the white space
around your poem
amid the stones
of the soldiers' cemetery
edelweiss
(second prize 21st Mainichi Haiku Contest
International Section)
civil war cemetery
the flower holders
empty
a minaret
sharpened by moonlight
distant gunshots
fish tank
the four corners
of the world
as I plan my day
an ant travels the globe
of the peony bud
more questions than answers driftwood
beachcombing the detritus of us
late autumn boiling the color from frozen carrots
black friday
two crows tear
at a plastic bag
bills due–
in my dream
the endless stairs
all-night laundromat
my pyjamas toss and turn
in the dryer
long nights
of absinthe drinking
what’s left of the moon
daymoon
a bullfrog’s
big gulp
pizza night
teaching the grandkids
card tricks
