Childhood Morning

The first rays of day.

Our garden pond becomes an

Ocean of jewels

 

A Long Trip Home

 

Distant misty trees

Grow ever closer as I

Strain my aching legs.

 

Waterfall

I stop to admire

Your eternal suicide

Crashing against rocks.

 

Meeting a Fox

Turning the corner

Three frozen seconds before

The red hunter flees.

 

What Would it be Like?

Hoarse cries, wriggling worms

Beginning one’s life in a

Chaos of branches

 

Rooks Outside my Window

Cawing loud and long

Do they get even more hoarse

As the days go by?

 

After a Long Walk

Mud on my trousers

A robin’s song in my heart

I bring the woods home.

 

Mountain Stream

Sloshing over cliffs,

While chuckling at the rainbow,

You plunge into air.

 

Viola Tricolor (Wild Pansy)

Both easing the heart

And waking new desires

Love-in-idleness

 

Orchid

Your pink veins bleed through

Soft petals like a bonnet.

What has hurt you so?
