Underemployed,
Watching a frog splash around
And overjoyed!

Murder, She Wokked
Yes, you gave me life
And now want it back
One deep fried peanut butter
Banana sandwich at a time.

An appreciation to Matsue Shigeyori (1596-1670)

Her long wake shining with pearls
From the winter sun.

A long forgotten levee
That no longer gathers in
Nor holds irresistible tides.
