tiny lascar,
sitting on a small leaf,
not blending -- at all.
Flashy Lascar [Senryū]

I heard a Fly buzz - when I died -
The Stillness in the Room
Was like the Stillness in the Air -
Between the Heaves of Storm -
The Eyes around - had wrung them dry -
And Breaths were gathering firm
For that last Onset - when the King
Be witnessed - in the Room -
I willed my Keepsakes - Signed away
What portion of me be
Assignable - and then it was
There interposed a Fly -
With Blue - uncertain - stumbling Buzz -
Between the light - and me -
And then the Windows failed - and then
I could not see to see -

the bee wallows
in pollen like a drunk
sprawls on a bar’s floor.

the sunflower
catches warm afternoon sun,
but bees aren’t impressed.

one butterfly:
with so many eyes
that cannot see.
