haiku school ...mistaking the pinefor bamboo
piningfor Basho ...the pines
forsaking pinesFerdinand learnssomething else
by moonlightlovers' fingers meshinto dreams
for tonightlet us all be dying ...radiant cloud
nonchalantthe cat grooms itself ...cesium rain
dew dropstracing the filamentsof dreams
autumn morn ...light grows crispunderfoot
perigee moonbrightly prophesyingthe death of stars
Easter joy ...even more closelyout of reach
a child placesa finger to her lips—God whispers
swelling cloudsbrood detachedlyover death -the life that escapesfrom my every pore
river fog—he opens his poemto silence
greengages—sweetness ripplesher lips
fifth Sunday ...silence wells upin the clouds
spring storm ...the river of starsflooding her
dawn maiden ...the long day's journeyinto night
autumn love ...moonlight silencesthe rumpled bed
youthful blush ...Oh! Celia, Celia, Celia shits!
after the dewsunrise ravishesthe rose
autumn sky ...celebratingcloud masses
shooting season ...a refuge of duckslower their sights
howling windsgnash at tossing dreams ...sea debris
unfolding from a crumpled bedthis aftertaste
wordless poem ...birdsong brings reliefto my longing
moonlit night ...the mottling of goose bumpson her thighs
a moth sailsthe widening gyre ...candle flame
hidden depths ...a dragonfly skimswhat I cannot
pretendingto forget, I gasp ata rainbow
purple rain ...casting words adriftinto God
