without the power
to even fall the dandelion
standing in winter

Red lights running down
The street and past the pine tree
Where has the moon gone?

Inconceivable.
You keep on using this word.
You misunderstand.

These words are crafty
They have stolen precious time
that you can't get back

Fresh cut hair itches
A reminder of my loss
I weep for the past

I know many words
but I may not speak them here
at grandfather's grave

Winter brings cold pain
These joints creak and crack and pop
When did I get old?

Appetite fulfilled
All wanted, nothing needed
A life alone paid

Looking at nature,
seeing struggle and splendour
a new thought was caught.

Five, seven and five.
This seventeen syllables
caught in a poëm.

Horizon, moving 
Only when you do, constant
Ruler of the sky

The wind is ice cold
the ice is everywhere  
I'm stuck in winter

Rhododendronbush:
Each bud saved her flower
for this sunny spring.

An old pond!
A frog jumps in-
The sound of water.

a beautiful weed
sprouting in the summer sun...
happy, but alone

Great Japan!
where a bird sings
the Lotus Sutra

it's 4:10 am
I can't think straight, and much less...
count syllables

bust out PDA...
what do I see on the screen?
broken LCD!

salty blue water
waving to the sandy shore
a roller coaster

A single grain of dust
at the mercy of the wind..
the life of a man

the old hand
swats a fly
already gone

Here so late at work.
Must not abandon Kevin.
Tired unity!

Short summer night.
A dewdrop
On the back of a hairy caterpillar.

do caterpillars
think butterflies beautiful?
find your own cocoon

Flowers bloom and die
Wind brings butterflies or snow
A stone won't notice

gamer's eyes light up
but, alas, he soon finds out
there's another stage

House of grass widow's-
only in the neighborhood
roosters cry the dawn

Worker bees can leave
Even drones can fly away
The Queen is their slave

Evening snow falling,
a pair of mandarin ducks
on an ancient lake.

corner spider
rest easy, my soot-broom
is idle

in a new bucket
the same water...
looks so fresh!
