snake wrestles fish
onto rocky home turf, &
blends with sun-warmed stones.

the sky is afire,
and, yet, i can see my breath
on chill winter air.

“West River Moon” by Su Shi [w/ Audio]
Wavelet on wavelet glimmers by the shore;
Cloud on cloud dimly appears in the sky.
Unsaddled is my white-jadelike horse;
Drunk, asleep in the sweet grass I'll lie.
My horse's hoofs may break, I'm afraid,
The breeze-rippled brook paved by moonlit jade.
I tether my horse to a bough of green willow.
Near the bridge where I pillow
My head on arms and sleep till the cuckoo's song awakes
A spring daybreak.

straight rivers; men make none

Camouflage, Not! [Haiku]
a squirrel chitters;
its black body against
the ash gray tree.
