Taps your shoulder then a toe:
Warm breath into earth.

standing above small city

Snow-white butterfly
Floats by on a summer breeze
Slowly melts away

to capture the sun

to capture the sun
walking across snow
leaving watery footprints
as winter exits

permeates a cedar branch
her fingers thread his

rustles awns faintly

break bare tree limbs and branches
leaving open wounds

winter snow melting
revealing green grass below

Pale green periscopes
Piercing seas of muddy snow
Seeking warmth and light

covered by fresh snow
the kale roots sipping the melt:
birds peck at the edge

spreads pale and rimy fingers

Valley lost in cloud,
rain falls steady all morning,
drips glisten on twigs

drips glisten on twigs
bamboo sways and bends
gives way without questioning
the source of the wind

Bitter autumn wind
Sinks teeth into summer's end.
Leaves visibly flinch.

Gray clouds hide the sun?
Snowflakes bustle past my nose?
Winter stomps his feet.

Torrential flash rain!
Under the tree shade; haiku
