this orange
touched by so many hands
I eat with gratitude
no thoughts
light filters through
the shape of glass
Frogpond 38:3, Autumn 2015
how many
become one
sound of rain
Frogpond 38:3, Autumn 2015
crashing
against the shore
moonlight
Modern Haiku 47:1, Winter 2016
solar eclipse
the untold stories
in grandma’s eyes
Failed Haiku, Volume 1, Issue 1, January, 2016
forgetting every word
of a long speech –
empty lecture hall
two strangers
smoking cigarettes
in pouring rain
The Sound of Rain, Lulu, 2014
power outage
no-one knows
what time it is
Birds With No Names, Lulu, 2014
sleeping butterfly . . .
do you remember life
as a caterpillar
Yanty’s Butterfly, Lulu, 2015
dead insects
on a stagnant pond
the distant rapids
Birds With No Names, Lulu, 2014
sunlight piercing through
holes in a conversation
a fan keeps spinning
Yanty’s Butterfly Lulu, 2015
sunlit mist
in unison
Orcas appear
and disappear
Yanty’s Butterfly Lulu, 2015
