entering autumn,
the laborer’s son
chasing ducks

     

twilight dawn ...
hanging yesterday’s dreams
on the clothesline

     

her calloused fingers
cushioned with desire
... autumn moon

     

autumn coolness ...
raccoons weave a tapestry
out of moonlight

     

staring at you from
the crevice of a dream ...
autumn rain

     

late afternoon
... a shadow-play
of deer

     

humid night ...
the quiet hum of
a passing bus

     

beneath my window,
a snail
... in no hurry

     

wearing a cloud
around his loins,
mahatma moon

     

this morning,
in a different light . . .
a dewdrop!

     

this waning moon . . .
my neighbor in
the doorway crying

     

the moon appears
between my legs,
less stoic than usual

     

the image her
shadow left in the
crevice of a dream

     

the sound of a river
passing
through moonlight . . .

     

in the rice field,
drinking darkness
from cone hats
