amble, river’s edge.
weeds, overgrown and fragrant,
stride slow but steady.
path, a lifetime, one-way street,
wishing I’d stopped to linger.

Shall I brave the rain
let fat drops sodden my clothes
plaster hair to scalp
let thunder vibrate my bones
raise damp earth's scent?
Not today

My brave throat was in
it's xeric era of days.
Dappled with dearth drops
of precious body fluids.
"One more for the ditch I croaked"

I’m sorry, but I just can’t choose
which one is my favorite—-
every night, the moon changes
waxing, waning, or round and full
the moon tonight—so beautiful!
wrapped in a blanket,
wistful, under warming sun,
and golden rain tree.
wisteria in first bloom,
will enjoy a second chance.

a snail's drunken trace
across the searing pavement
seemingly aimless
plans daily altered, ruined
slave to riptide currents

a red-yellow leaf
borne upon a lazy brook
spills over round rocks
such a momentous journey
taken without awareness

An atlas moth
a big as my hand
a map on its wings
a lost city, a treasure
a road to the sea.
Clean for a day
welcome spring!
a spill in the kitchen
on the counter,
a coffee cup enso
