after the rain --
a worm inches back
into the mud

`

morning sun
 snail trails
at the mailbox

`

leaving the pub—
the moon in a barrel
half frozen

`

saturday morning
biking to the park
the click of marbles

`

passing clouds --
the horizon blurred
in summer rain

starry night ...
hot popcorn
   in white paper cups

12/2006 Shiki Kukai - 3rd place

`

first sunrise ...
 the mountains and fields
taken by snow

`

crocus  . . .
the balloon-man returns
to the park

2/2007 Shiki Kukai - 1st place

`

 stop light --
cleavage & red stilettos
 in the crosswalk

feu rouge --
décolleté et rouges talons aiguille
au passage clouté

`

morning calm--  
  a seagull circles the  
 tide pool  

`

noon meditation ...
the nothingness, alive
with possibility
