disa viewing—
we retrace our steps
through the mist

wild irises
two petals loosen into
a butterfly

winter holidays
a stray dog zig-zags
across the playground

walkman ...
a pinecone crunches under
the jogger’s shoe

birdsong
the old cat dreamless
in the garden

waterfall ...
the bush-willow catches
a twirling leaf

twilight
I try to imitate
the robin’s song
