Shadow-striped --
Juxtaposing day with night,
And wrong with right,
And never with always --
Down the long striped
Hallway...
Until it ends in darkness.

The Temple That Never Closes [Haiku]
the streets are dark --
even streetlamps rest -- but
light spills from the temple.

Martian Mindscape [Free Verse]
The light of day's end
brings out the sandy
grit of the arid
landscape.
The light of day's end
matches & compounds
the color of the
desiccated vegetation.
The light of day's end
turns the world
into someplace new --
somewhere I've never
been before.
My body knows this is
nothing like Mars;
my mind does not.

Garden Lanterns [Haiku]
legs in leaf litter,
garden lanterns catch light
that pierces bare woods.

Passing Buddha [Lyric Poem]
The train is speeding down the line.
Gold Buddha glints in the sunshine.
Jarring is the train whistle’s whine,
we plunge into a dark tunnel.

That Time of Day [Tanka]
once a day
light from the setting sun gleams
off the gold Buddha,
and shines through a window
across the boulevard.

Sun Tinged [Haiku]
Understory [Haiku]
understory thrives:
light plants & shadow plants
each finds its place.
