snowflakes fluttering down flocons en haute voltige
under the white moon sous la lune de glace
stars sparkle un feu d'étoiles

falling oak leaf spring wind
and its reflection children help a kite
merge on contact to start dancing

winter torrent summer sunrise
a car washed up each kiss
in the river a little warmer

autumn eve’ high season--
the hanging moon dallies gulls recycle
in a puddle a slab of battered cod

hunger moon graduation ceremony
the model returns the square hat
to her circle of chalk makes her smile

blossoming cherry May rainfall
a cuckoo’s melancholic voice heap of sand
from afar heap of footprints

spring dawn — another year
even on paper flowers another day
glistening dew another blossoming

Arizona the white road seems long
hot windblown sand claw after claw till it vanishes—
and prickly cacti bird-tracks in snow

sudden lightning closing my eyes
all lights go off ~ as I pass under --
a child's cry crabapple blooms

looking through
the cicadas wings...
the distant islands

mountain temple alone with
ghosted in mist a horse’s shadow
summer solstice snow moon
