a wolf spider
 scurries overland like
  I cross a hot beach.

 surrounded by stone,
  no sight; no sound.

 lichen & moss carpeted,
  two mushrooms stand tall.

on a maple leaf,
 a jewelwing stands - still.
  it'd blend, if not so blue.

a dog day ends,
 pine needles silhouetted
  against orange sky.

 dry grass on the hillside --
  seashore in Autumn

 outside the temple; how do

 a turtle swims leisurely
  in sun-warmed waters.

 the Spring winds, the grass still
  waves off the departed.

a temple,
 freshly painted,
  in every color.
