autumn afternoon: swollen clouds cut the light, it looks like sundown.

Taoist Limerick
Once upon a time, there was a wise, old Taoist priest
who got the least from the most & the most from the least.
If he offered a snack,
you'd be bursting your slacks,
but expect empty plates when he'd call for a feast.

Typhoon Trap [Rubāʿiyāt Stanza Variation]
Trapped on the island by typhoon. It's evening dark, though at high noon. The waves are wild and still rising. So, ferries won't be running soon. The few streets there are lie silent, but - seaside - the winds whip violent. We hide inside a bungalow, and hope it's fixed firmer than my tent. One 's always where it's most remote when they cancel all ferryboats: where there're too many thoughts to think, and few distractive antidotes.

against the dense clusters

“turn left to go right”:
branches sweep around in arcs,
is the tree moving?

Dark Day at the Beach [Haiku]
people sit in sand, and look to the water -- ignoring dark clouds.
