he tires of his child
there are no flowers

walking out alone
black & white sunday: summertime
On the shins of thin legs
breezes touching the hairs —
time of summer clothes.

yearn to live…
summer’s fading
My own shadow
trodden on in the shallows-
cooling off

let me be…
How joyous and kind?
In my next life, let me be
a butterfly afield

summer’s silent gift
My home is quiet.
The cuckoo’s song is silenced
in my quiet home

a meeting…
where the rivers meet
there seems to be a quietness –
the clear water

playing their games
on the sly…

a voiceless flower…speaks
A voiceless flower
speaks to the obedient
in-listening ear

hot night in the trees-
I’m getting used to it
arm for a pillow
