      Shinku by Debra Woolard Bender

     

1.

moonlit                                     wet sky
a white camellia                     drops heavily
withering without sound       into dust

     

2.

stop and go               rush hour                     every morning
beside the road       a car full of ladies       all in a tizzy
white egrets             stalling traffic             about their business
