when Canis Major
walks its paws across night skies
it bites a bone moon
the song of an owl
a sweet shiver on the spine
fall's pale moon quivers
silk tendrils flutter
the garden fence firmament
fat white spider star
windfall cedar trunk
rolled smooth in rain forest moss
decays evergreen
Lotus Peak Shimmers
A veil of misty showers
Cloud Edo's white dream
Luminous dust cloud
New moon over ripe cherries
Memories dry out
manatees floating
the Blue Spring mirroring sky
crowded zeppelins
pink sky in April
tangled in honeysuckle
hummingbird's delight
Wind drags across time
pulling at leaves and false teeth
I can barely smile
storks moving their wings
all over the setting sun -
a goodbye message
black crow flaps its wings
suspended on a wind gust
blotting out the sun
The darkening sky
softly exhales its last wish
early autumn rain
Kisses from the sun
Burning lips leave me frozen
The touch of Midas
the tree's silver bark
shining in the moonlit dark
nighttime is talking
decaying sandbags
bursting after so much sun
spilt like torn grain sacks
stooping among dunes
camels gleaning green stubble
after desert rain
low in the turquoise
a rising moon and people
strolling here and there
between two tall trees
a single fallen oak leaf --
color of sunset
white children's puffball
yellow tooth-of-the-lion
French xanthic flower
morning summer breeze
a concentric draft ascends
white oak leaves tremble
pretty history?
we leaf through books to find it
the page is torn out
in my apple tree
the blossoms getting closer -
new baby shower
The master inscribes.
The past, reborn, signs the page:
Footprints melt the snow.
above the treetops
a scattering of swallows
cross the summer moon
autumn butterflies
the warm golds and crisp crimsons
I mistook for leaves
The spring wind dances
Through the pines dislodging cones.
The earth glows and swells.
Wolf on Highway 2
dissolves into the forest
like a bell, unrung
midnight illusion
leafy branches reach skyward
holding moon aloft
a sly red fox hides
under the magnolia ?
patches of old snow
Fragrant, fertile earth
cloaks of compassion cover
multitudes of sin
Against my window
rain taps veiled time signatures
ebbing me to sleep.
a dying flower
wilted petals fall earthbound
resurrection comes
heavenly beauty
suspended in the night sky
woeful baying wolf
The well-spring in May
bubbles its sweet aroma
jealous flowers bloom
The steel against stone,
Dirt caking your pants and face,
You knock at Earth's heart.
walking clasping hands
twilight trail circles the lake
fog oroboros
