Transformation
|
|
|
|
painting a shadow
with its shadow,
the dragonfly |
|
| |
|
| |
rain barrel —
tadpoles surface
through a cloud |
| |
|
born in a year
of the monkey
my trickster life |
|
| |
|
| |
only to melt
on a warmer earth
spring snow |
|
|
holding a bee
in an open palm —
her second spring |
|
| |
|
| |
I have learned
to act like them —
peonies |
|
|
light, heat, sweat —
indian lilac in Hiroshima
this summer too |
|
| |
|
| |
eyeless
poison drains into
the singing bowl |
|
|
a cascade of huge teardrops: the
tassels of red nuts not blood
|
|
|
| |
nightmares
absorbed again
by a sharper moon |
| |
|
laid down on the grass
the world is changing
its perspective |
|
| |
|
| |
When I step in the fire
an ancient shaman drains
all agonies |
|
|
my unawake brain —
through emerald transparence,
a cicada emerges |
|
| |
|
| |
Summer moon ...
I pass through it
to another world |
|
|
Leaf by leaf,
woods by woods —
my thoughts turn green. |
|
| |
|
| |
dawn
a seagull lifts
the darkness |
|
|
freshly molded
in clay —
the coolness |
|
| |
|
| |
an autumn butterfly
born from the shadow
of the boy |
|
|
yellow daffodils
an urge to
buy a banjo |
|
| |
|
| |
low tide
the seaweed
loses its shape |
|
|
spring thaw —
the splintered pine
releases a cone |
|
| |
|
| |
solstice
a raspberry bursts
on my tongue |
|
|
hair of the dog —
in the mirror a trace
of autumn |
|
| |
|
| |
I look up
from writing
to daylight |
|
|
morning light
a dragonfly beads
with dew |
|
| |
