the length
of her sleepless night

the setting sun lengthens
our shadows

homecoming
the smell of fresh laundry
on the wind

calligraphy ink
drips from a tip
of the finger
in my mind those words
I never said

Between Acts 
Junicho

scented breeze –
the knowing look
of an old horse

behind the net walls
growing insects buzz

between acts
we sip the last drops
of Bloody Mary

in the souvenir box
new ballet shoes

black swan feathers
absorb the light
of the rising moon

river takes the fallen leaves
beyond the horizon

lying on the sand
entwined
yin and yang

leather cuffs
under the warm quilt

on the straight road
a motorcyclist chases
his shadow

while her watch
still slows the time

a Gypsy woman
surrounded by lilacs
foretells the future

soap bubbles
burst with memories

Na stronie "Spotlight" styczniowego wydania cattails wraz z krótką biografią można przeczytać dziesięć haiku, dwie tanki oraz obejrzeć 6 haig mojego autorstwa.

empty park
another leaf loses
its tree

fading daylight
my shadow embraces
everything around

mountain trek
the stream cooling
our shadows

open window
from the nearby bakery
a night shift smell

gossamer thread
I contemplate the strength
of my feelings

crescendo
sounds of horse hooves tread
the summer wind

the weight
of Indian summer—
ripening garden

rush hour
the speed of
a falling leaf

lullaby
a wild wind swings
the cattails

cascades
calla lilies spill the smell
of rain


the silence
of those ancient woods
deep down
in the mountain stream
shadows of our shadows

always beyond
the circle of her bedside lamp
darkness
but on the hospice wall
she sees a painted sunrise

cold gust of wind
goose bumps on my skin
and the lake’s surface

an old yogi salutes the sun
