still enough that fish gather
in one's shadow

eyes fixed & tongue darting --
all 's still; nothing 's calm

a monkey finds nirvana
through jackfruit focus

from a bare tree branch,
in broad daylight

looks at me, 
as I look at it

on a branch in parallel;
the plot is afoot

Cow & Egret [Haiku]

as if to spurn its cow,
but it'll be back

Crabs at a Distance [Haiku]

the stony beach writhes;
but they're shells, not stones -
crab animated

the falls rumble --
a bird flies overhead,
its song lost
