lengthening days a Möbius strip twists into
April 2013
night fall . . .
shadows lengthen
our eye contact
drifting deeper
into the scent of autumn . . .
that life, and this
autumn wind . . .
rain drops spiral through
galaxies
rain forest —
the sound of night gasping
within thighs
the silence!
darkness encircles
each breath
a nun lingers
on the first mystery —
all day long
third hour —
a leaf falls deeper into
its gasp of stillness
spring fever —
the lightness of footsteps
from the mist
street mural —
my shadow stretches
the truth
clear night:
dark brushstrokes enter
the inner eye
pregnant pause . . .
the redness of a tomato
about to burst
transit lounge
between nocturnal spasm
and the dark night
absent moon —
darkness grows heavy
on my pen
eluding
the words to unveil it:
mountain mist
night train . . .
distance thins out
with its sound
dried off cow
its eyes too look empty —
the flickering screen
koru —
from a still point,
the dance
what holds me?
sound of a pine breeze
in her touch
autumn light . . .
fig leaves wreathe through
a girl's song
mosquito!
your life's chiaroscuro
on a white wall
moonless night . . .
a sun dial's shadow
freezes
overstayer!
the old woman spinning yarns
like a fifth wheel
tropical storm —
a lavalava shadow
darkens coral sands
lacking voice,
dew-drenched trees burst into
a dawn chorus
night fall —
shadows bridge the distance
between our eyes
antique verse —
a tadpole stirs up
the pond scum
bush debris —
a mushroom clouds
my judgement
autumn harvest . . .
a breeze ripples a field
of wild oats
moonless night . . .
shadows lengthen along
a blind alley
