sudden shower
the sun flows
into countless paths
autumn school
everyday he leaves behind him
the big sky

summer rain —
socks on the clothesline
still try to escape on tiptoe

migrant's shelters
above them
the wandering moon

seaward
a river pulses — writes
and rewrites itself
hazy moon
a first satellite dish installed
in the fisherman's village
the farmers in the core of the sun are butterfly wings in rain

year's end —
leaking pot patched
by its lime crust
words
we have been said
fallen leaves
Honorable Mention in the Mongolian Haiku Association Second International Kukai (Drop leaves)
trauma centre
flapping of the butterflies' wings
after a hard rain
the moon disappears
before I scoop
my pineapple jam

'Summer in The Town'
traditional market
the scent of mountain breeze
in the vendor's tea cup
fresh fish market
a young man carries the wet basket
full of stars
spring breeze
the tiny finger tips holds up
her first white frangipani
gathered in the mosque
for wedding vows —
a spider weaves its web
A Hundred Gourds 2.4, September 2013
bachelor’s garden
a soka bough embraces
the old mango tree
ocean of sand —
thousands of wind paths
within each grain
