three times pour and rinse
keep the water for flowers
polished rice gleaming
Month: April 2020
2281
tea kettle whistles
I call out
no one else is there
2280
got a check today
signature the jagged fangs
of a carnivore
2279
mountains disappear
mountain reappears
the fog’s conjurings
2278
bomb-free war
staying at home
washing hands
4 retreads
cherry petals spin
all around the yard
I’m faking raking
sakura report
japanese news update
cherry blossom front
cherry trees sigh
oh, the transience
children at play
an aged cherry tree
shows off her blossoms
still flirtatious
2277
where is everyone
who will come out to watch them
the cherry blossoms
2276
more dead, more dead
one more obsidian wall
around the white house
2275
in the garden shed
brand new rake and hoe
bought ten years ago
2274
bamboo back scratcher
what better companion
could there be
2773
the old porch steps
after a morning rain
shingles of blue sky
2772
the young cedars
the grace of wild swans
only owls remain
2771
pitted, discolored
the mirror is a pocked moon
I shave in
2770
a cold grasping wind
birds and cherry petals fly
right off the branches
2769r
along the wild grass
cars chirp and flash
parked for the night
2768
spring cleaning
I’m here as I am
I’ll leave as I am
2767
each six feet apart
a ring of singing children
ashes, ashes
2766
cars have vanished
beaches are closed
a surfer paddles out
2765
cars parked for weeks
birds celebrate the air
with unexpected song
2764
miracle sunday
pancake house resurrection
now drive-thru only
