after the summer shower
the sun filters through
a hoopoe’s crest

soundless waterfall
beyond the conference window
a drift of yellow leaves

a cormorant’s dive             *
the deaf haijin’s hands
become his voice
                                                * for Jerome Cushman

winter dusk
from last year’s diary
a pressed maple leaf

ducks paddle
towards our voices
through half moon ripples

thunderstorm
under the laburnum
widening pools of yellow
