sidewalk sale-
wind twists a lifetime

Woodnotes
taking me back...
water laps gently
at the shore
Dim Sum
our turn
to stand here-
falls overlook
Frogpond
mountain brook-
the indistinguishable spring
of voices
Mayfly
in the garden
sitting alone-
who i am now
Dim Sum
in the dark
through the window light
my wife and child
Modern Haiku
daybreak-
the spider centered
in its web
Dim Sum
long wait alone
in the parking lot...
a dog in the next car
Raw Nervz
on the way home
more geese
on the way home
Frogpond
returning the water
from the vase
to the flower garden
Dim Sum
letting her
walk all over me
- ladybug
bottle rockets
potluck luncheon
a yellow jacket cleans
its antennae
Dim Sum
the cat's eyes
so wide...
for a gnat

undefended:
in the cold rain
their snow fort
Frogpond
the way
rain takes
the mountain
Frogpond
Ducks riding the lake
brushed rough by wind;
pilings rimed with ice
Modern Haiku 1988
mountaintop:
giving back
each breath
Brussels Sprout v.XI : no.1 Jan. 1994
lunch alone
without a book
i read my mind
Brussels Sprout v.XI : no.1 Jan. 1994
rushing
to the zendo to sit
still
Brussels Sprout v.XI : no.2 May 1994
daybreak-
rubber duck alone
in the empty tub
Haiku Quarterly summer 1994
on the trail again...
walking deeper
into myself
Frogpond summer 1994
autumn moonlight
folded in
the clothes on the floor
Modern Haiku summer 1994
the way
the light bulb rests
in the rest of the trash
Modern Haiku fall 1994
day break-
from the bread truck's roof
frost swirls
Woodnotes #25
one tree
one bird, one song
the dusk
Frogpond 1995
x-ray room
they remove
her crucifix
Modern Haiku fall 1995
alone in the waiting room
checking the plant
for reality
