winterlight
a blur of birdsong
in the air
light falling everywhere ? ? ?in its own place — summer’s end (haiga)
61st birthday–
making the plum jelly
a little sweeter
I always thought
mother’s silk pillow cases
a luxury
now that they are mine I dream
silk worms threading light to light
hovering dragonfly
I too hesitate
now and then
the slow sinking
of the wishing coin
summer’s end
