From Tanka Blues:
a passing cloud
darkens the tavern window
—still thinking of her
i lift my beer mug
the coaster sticks to it
today I saw
my first nuthatch
............heading
..................down the tree bark
.....like nuthatches do
all day
cutting off
..............fishheads
....knowing nothing
..................... lasts
painting windows
i dream
of better things to do
still
painting windows
troubled
i gaze
at the silver maple
with its branches snow-bent
in spring
