after work
drops of rain
in my tea

the seeing eye dog
is tentatively sniffing...
chrysanthemums

clothes tumbling dry,
a fresh wind blows
on the window pane

rain beats the thicket
but, here inside—
a snail

the white egret
blown away by
a gust of cold wind

clear morning sunlight;
a dandelion seed-puff
rises into the sky

summer breeze;
goldfinches in the willow
flit from bough to bough

feeling for the light,
a chorus of insects—
cool summer evening
