cloud drift . . .

an eagle's wing rewrites

the sky

Under the Basho, Autumn, 2013

budding aspens —

silence climbs between

the magpies

Under the Basho, Autumn, 2013

morning snow . . .

whose tracks unzip

the meadow?

Under the Basho, Autumn, 2013

autumn flurry —

how easily the geese

join the wind

Under the Basho, Autumn, 2013

ocarina —

his fingers follow

the desert wind

Under the Basho, Autumn, 2013

breathless elk . . .

so much orange in this

harvest moon

broken wheat --

a sand crane dancing

alone

canyon spring --

how many echoes

left behind?

turned soil -

the taste of absinthe

in raindrops

early snow --

a coyote's cry hangs

between seasons

summer sky --

a raven drifts on shades

of thunder

morning song . . .

a piece of sky falls

from the nest

moon-faced owl . . .

the silence of winter

rising
