Dawn's light holds in breath --
A heron strikes bright water,
Scattering the sun.

Sun has disappeared
Movement in the ancient pine
A chickadee flits

A chickadee flits
Hot noon in August -
I swim alone in a pool,
hawk circling above.
I swim alone in a pool,
hawk circling above.
Birds ripple the wine-
colored sunset, hoisting sails
on the summer sea.
colored sunset, hoisting sails
on the summer sea.
Breeze rustles dry grass
Birds sing, frogs croak, squirrels chirp
The sounds of silence
Birds sing, frogs croak, squirrels chirp
The sounds of silence
Hummingbird in air.
Cat hiding in the garden.
Milk now turned sour.

Milk now turned sour.
Feather snow hardens
To cold white steel, by sun's glare
That fades its glory.
To cold white steel, by sun's glare
That fades its glory.
Raindrops on black crows
Mudsmells rise with sodden wings
melting into clouds
Mudsmells rise with sodden wings
melting into clouds
Flutter butterfly,
beat the tiny wings of time
before the Earthquake.
beat the tiny wings of time
before the Earthquake.
Singing chickadee.
Eyeing absent bluebird's house.
Filled with tiny cheer.
Eyeing absent bluebird's house.
Filled with tiny cheer.
