migrating geese

linger in the air

unspoken goodbye

 ***

driving in sunset

the vanishing pulse

of the roadside trees

 ***

a stranger

follows me home

windless

a butterfly fans

a withering peony

Winter 2016

one brush stroke

just enough to change

the cloud shape

Akitsu Quarterly

Fall 2016

still life

between the sketchbook pages

the kireji

mackerel sky

a yogi turns the horizon

upside down

gossamer threads

your embrace weaker

than before

chemo center door
she strokes the sunlight
in her wig
