mountain morning:
 sun-warmed icecaps over
  a valley of night.

big, busy leaf:
 light bullets through,
  too fast to process.

from the dark, cool room,
 the sunlit bougainvillea
  burns shapes in my sight

mossy rocks
catch the afternoon sun:
dark & light facets

early morning 
rays hit the canopy
and fan out
into gold bands of light:
spotlights with no targets

a park at night.
the shadows are darker
because of the light

autumn afternoon.
the sun penetrates deeply,
feeding the grass

a patch of leaves.
some: light green and veiny;
others: black blobs

in the dim temple,
candlelight flickers,
and bronze moves

milky moonlight
paints all things pale --
all but the shadows
