watches the setting sun like
it’s up to no good.

hazy valley:
after the harvest,
the fields are burnt.

clings to a cliff face;
winds have nothing to shake.

Stream Toll [Kyōka]

even a stream
charges a toll, and
thwarts cheaters.
step on stone: slip & fall;
sink calf deep: you may pass.

Harvested [Haiku]

rice harvested;
the paddies are dry.
buffaloes graze.

Arboreal Schizophrenia [Haiku]

bougainvillea &
gold trumpet grow together:
one tree, two personas.

Sea of Clouds [Haiku]

a sea of clouds:
flat & calm; rimmmed with
cumulus mountains.
