May 2012

enso sun—
the negative space of
a full eclipse

sepia moon ...
cuttlefish ripple
through dreams

the long night ...
a monk breaks open
his silence

first date ...
she wants to swim
in my eyes

rising sun ...
my eyes straining
tea leaves

morning mist—
the nameless that haunts
my mirror

autumn dusk . . .
long forgotten bottles
bob in the tide

deepening night—
the silence between
heartbeats

cold morning ...
a late rose blooms
a shadow

the scatter
of autumn leaves ...
giggling child

common ground—
the dreams of the forgotten
take a break

the autumn sun
somewhere behind the smoke
of her cremation

the making of
a beggar's banquet ...
open hands

borrowed autumn ...
these hedgehogs rolling out
of wonderland

a power plant
seeding manipura rain ...
radiant spring

perigee moon ...
the last orange
more orange

nameless shapes
unfurl in river fog ...
this too has no name

full moon ...
she flashes me
her smile

on her ear
her lover lost
in sunrise

dark dark night ...
he enters the alchemy
of dreams

snap election—
a politician harvests
platitudes

late homework—
he cuts and pastes
web searches

darkness shrouds
over bare branches ...
autumn crow

ancient frog ...
a haiku splashes
among ahas

haiku stream ...
the endless flow
of blossoms

it has roots
but who would know?
lotus bloom
