Passing [Haiku]

at day’s end, 
fishermen pass
on each boat’s way home.

Floating [Haiku]

boats float the river;
balloons through the sky.
i float through time.

Night in a River City [Haiku]

river city:
after dark, boats slip moorings
to glide silently.

“Night Mooring” by Zhang Ji [w/ Audio]

The moon sets; crows caw below frosty skies.
Boats, moored to maples -- lamps glow like cat eyes.
Cold Mountain Temple, outside Gusu's bounds:
The midnight bell cuts off soft water sounds.

The Big Drift [Haiku]

downriver drift;
ferries & fisherman cross
without collision.

River Drift [Haiku]

shapes shift on
metal waters until
darkness wins.
