rolling in -
the homeric laughter
of clouds
February 2012
lenten path ...
if the sun rises
it just rises
lenten ash ...
already leaves
start to turn
the earth too
changes direction ...
lenten ash
silent night -
white stones reflect
the unnamed
her leitmotif
navigates the mists ...
hidden stream
open door
a tui's counterpoint
changes colour
through the open door
of a tui's counterpoint
sound changes colour
a fantail flits
through dusk's antiphons -
shrove tuesday
rocks ooze
the lingering heat -
cicada chant
a morepork's cry
attached to nothing ...
starless night
the remains
of a godwit's flight ...
vapour trail
parting clouds ...
a godwit vanishes
from view
the faces
wincing in pain ...
also mine
ash clouds ...
penitents turn
back home
even
in this light ...
no more
five seven five
the via negativa
of English haiku
bumble bees
swoon from peonies -
valentine's day
summer breeze
cicadas blur the bounds
of silence
summer retreat ...
cicadas redefine
silence
sepia moon ...
cuttlefish ripple
through dreams
moonless night
deepening streams
of gloom
windy day -
stretching the truth
across clouds
getting by
without articles
bare senryu
tear-filled eyes --
streaming overhead
star-filled night
overwhelmed
by indifferent stars ...
this embrace ours
a morepork
echoes its name ...
haloed moon
stalling
under the ice -
spring bulbs
empty path ...
first to be shed
are sandals
open eyes ...
the revelation
of shadows
