air-raid sirens-
the last to turn off the lights
is a temple with blossoms

A photo that says…Danger!
when the wind blows
the under leaves of the oak
make whispering sounds
and where are they off to,
chatting as they go?
~Takayori

Canadian Geese
Trailed with clouds
The layered memories
Of time forever gone
Stands between us now
In this spring dawn

100 days…28 days
From this day forward,
you will be Canadian geese-
may you thrive in peace

100 days…City Park
Of a mind to depart,
A bird his former nest
Will always find;
Accustomed to the blossoms
On this evening they are gone…

are they spreading
rumors about me?
