Tensity
|
|
|
|
tension headache
different bees work
the lavender bush |
|
| |
|
| |
breathing in
shadows pass over
the mango tree |
| |
|
fish scale moon
on the taut line
beads of sweat |
|
| |
|
| |
darkening river
a raven flies
towards the pines |
| |
|
day's end . . .
another sunset
behind the clouds |
|
| |
|
| |
humid day . . .
as I step out of my bath
the beads of sweat |
| |
|
this butterfly on the chair
has kept the colors
of the flowers he has gathered |
|
| |
|
| |
winter solstice —
through the cell window
a dusty shaft of light |
| |
|
making pickled ume
I calm
one of my complaints |
|
| |
|
| |
weeds . . .
sometimes I don't know
when to stop |
| |
|
At 3 am
the mockingbird
wounding sleep |
|
| |
|
| |
A cat's nail
scratching
the water — |
| |
|
There's really no hope
those limpid tears will cool
into blades of steel? |
|
| |
|
| |
spring sunrise
the lingering night
in my aunt's casket |
| |
|
a fly
trimming its wings
on the death mask |
|
| |
|
| |
shaded woodpile
the coffin-maker behind
the classifieds |
| |
|
african morning —
vultures gather on
a village roof |
|
| |
|
| |
the swift's home
in the wall —
painted over |
| |
|
watering can . . .
the sound of mother's
creaking bones |
|
| |
|
| |
A gust of wind
lifts up the wing of
a perished bird |
| |
|
hospital room —
the lightness of falling snow
at dusk |
|
| |
|
| |
clinking of glasses —
a cat sleeping
on the coffin |
| |
|
grass stalks tall
in the lowering sun
another wasted afternoon |
|
| |
|
| |
alone on a ferry pier
in the milky way
sea wind |
| |
|
labor pains ...
the silence between lightning
and thunder |
|
| |
|
| |
summer seashore —
an octopus writhing,
a barefooted child |
| |
|
spring forest
bare branches and blossoms
that awkward time |
|
| |
|
| |
gypsy moth
clutched in the jaybird's beak —
wooden clothespins |
| |
|
she grabs at air
where the firefly was
twilight |
|
