dry winter
a geranium wilts
in the pub window

winter afternoon
the rabbit in the moon
turns blue

hermitage
moonlight deepens the crevasse
between two melons

puddle moon
the poet pisses
on his shoes

sheep country
passing clouds graze
the hilltop

night river
trains ripple over
the floating city

touching the wings
of the long dead moth
... dust

clinging
to the fig’s damp roots
... his ashes

candlelight
through rice paper
... grandmother’s face

unswept leaves
my foot brushes
a sparrow
