Children with sorcova--

tapping grandparents

dogs barking

Taj Mahal Review Vol. 16, Number 2, dec 2017

​

1

cherry blossoms -

the curio seller polishing

brass butterflies
 2

open air show -

the waves bring dead fish

ashore

3

field of snow -

an origami poppy points out

a tomb

4
bird on the table -
someone asks
for spicy dressing

5

the lilac blossoms

push the window open -

mothball scent

6

veteran's birthday -

golden pumpkins in row

from door to gate

7

leaving home -

an ombilical pumpkin cord

pulls me back

8

temple -

a nesting bird

in a straw shoe

9

rotating winds -

in a red balloon

your breath

10

the rain whipping

against the panes -

home dialysis

from time to time a flake falls

onto yesterday
