almost spring what the mockingbird has to say

buddha

garden buddha
a bumblebee joins
the bamboo sound

tear

sunday wind
morning is a tear
in our eyes

first to bud
as if it matters
spent blossom

paws

warm winter dawn
the sound of his paws
walking beside me

pluperfect

the one leaf
stuck to the broom
pluperfect

winged

the other side
of a wood duck's cry
winged seeds

never

the thought 
of never knowing
cherry blossoms

dreaming

dark winter night

alone with a cat

moon dreaming



Thursday, February 16, 2017

footsteps

pastel twilight

my footsteps fill the sky

with finches



Wednesday, February 15, 2017

leaving

leaving ravens

returning to sounds

a river makes



Tuesday, February 14, 2017

light

lily sprouts

the way of icicles

to shape light



Monday, February 13, 2017

doves

even though

our time is passing

there are doves



Sunday, February 12, 2017

it

whatever it was

that feeling again

bony moon



Saturday, February 11, 2017

bare

mountains of sky

how easily winds

fit around me

as if i were a vine

bare of summer fruit



sweep

a raven sweeps the blue into sunset


Friday, February 10, 2017

zen

winter zen

the colors of sound

wiped clean

mirror

morning

mist

the

old

mirror

echoes

me

softly



Wednesday, February 8, 2017

time

old barn door

open just enough

for time to pass 



Tuesday, February 7, 2017

last

half-light

my pen catches

the last word



Monday, February 6, 2017

glass

cold moonlight

spills thru a glass door

the brittleness 



Sunday, February 5, 2017

yet

winter chores

yet just out there

maple buds



Saturday, February 4, 2017

second

the space between
second hand sounds
wilderness night


Friday, February 3, 2017

pendulum

starting over
the pendulum swings
green-ward




Thursday, February 2, 2017

echoes

first thunderclap the echoes of startled birds



Wednesday, February 1, 2017

words

unable to draw
i paint the mountain
with words
