snow at night –
the magic of a child’s
owl dream
February 2012

butterfly moon
the delicate structure
of white lies
spring dawn
a fox zips past
the gate
homework –
drawing a big sun in bright
yellow
shooting stars…
the fizz of champagne
on my tongue
.
2nd place in the Free Format theme, Shiki Kukai February 2012
stifling heat -
the judge‘s wig
drips
lovebirds -
coming through their vent
scent of jasmine rice
#21 umbrella
.
silk umbrella
how this butterfly hovers
over your head
.
#20 talus
.
gravity
a landslide settles into a scree
on her jowls
.
#19 sandals
.
hung out to dry
on the clothesline
Hermes’ winged sandals
NaHaiWriMo prompts
.
skipping stones -
a walnut rattles
downhill
.
.
food queue biting its tail around the block
fighting for space
in our childhood rockpools -
sea anemones
near the stage
the illusion fades –
moth moon
nightingale song –
life becomes
lighter
.
wearing white
at the moon party –
moonflower
.
almond blossom
my neighbor pounding cloth
all night
kitchen drama
the catfish jumps out
of the frying pan
fruit jam
two apples roll
away
ice house
storing her gall
for all seasons
after the snow melt-
the snowman’s hat
a bit smaller
