horizontal bar

     

bobbing kite
the spin of sunlight
on a cobweb

     

lakeside stroll
a chunk of driftwood
sprouts a heron!

     

touching me—
the part of a breeze
that touched a rose

     

harvest moon
a spider farms
the wall ivy

     

aerobics class
two swallows swerve
past the window

     

highway rest stop—
a heron stretches
its neck

     

twilight—
a motorbike cuts
the scent of roses

     

dry cattails
a spider inches closer
to the sun

     

Cinqku

     

next door
a chainsaw
growls, the air thick
with the scent of warm sap—
old elm

     

dark-stained
yearbook page
only a hint
of the path I once took
lightly

     

moonlight
on black silk—
the slight tingle
of memory’s blue-veined
fingers
