Haiku
rained down,
drooping roses
turn to the sun
autumn all around...
still waiting for the clowns,
I twiddle my thumb
no one
blessing me when
I sneeze
in perpetuity...
migrating betwixt two nations,
a lone goose
snowed in...
where have my friends
gone?
winter rain...
wetting the sound
of the bugle
Tsukimiso
evening primrose...
opening silent in twilight
dies before sunrise
more apples
on the ground than
on the tree
no one
came to see me today but
winter leaves
dried persimmons
in the making, hung and
getting sweeter
winter fog...
I know there are beyond
snowdrops
heavy snow gone...
the sun moves on my
painting hand
