notes in a knapsack
cherry petals for company

'

crossroads --
two corroded pennies
both heads up

`

soft breeze . . .
blossoms fall on Buson
in my lap

`

ceiling shadows . . .
a woman alone, but
for the moon

`

almost spring
laughter of newlyweds
next door

`

almost dusk
the mountains and fields
taken by snow

`

crossroads -
one shiny penny
heads up

the cat's meow -
he preens in the heat
for a midnight prowl

`

spring rain
the tree stump, alive
with trumpet flowers

morning sun
a flash of spider silk
across the screen

his spirit . . .
the last to leave
the funeral

`

scattered blossoms...
two umbrellas go chatting
in the rain

`

spring cleaning
her husband's old pajamas
in the rag rug

`

sandalwood oil -
how his hands press
and glide

in the hay --
eyes closed in pleasure
her blush deepens

Saturday night
the sound of weeping
seeps from the wall

nuit du samedi
le bruit des larmes
filtre � travers le mur

`

her Sunday dress
the color of bruises
merging

(sa robe du dimanche
la couleur des coups
s'y m�le)

tempes libres 3/2005
