on some days
not even a cuckoo calls
to this lone traveler

100 days…68th day
Coming, all is clear, no doubt about it.
Going, all is clear, without a doubt.
What, then, is it all?

weekly photo challenge: partners
at one place
it goes through darkness –
the ring of dancers
~Hashimoto Takako*
Michelle’s photo challenge for the week of Friday, June 24th is : Partners,
“…share an image of partners. A pair, a trio, a sextet; people, building, plants — what ever you choose to shoot, give us subjects that are in tune with one another.”

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

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

I hear your voice…
In my memories
you are there…
I hear your gentle whisper…
In my memories
as though you are waiting…
whispering, beckoning
deep within, I hear your voice.
a summer moment
time of summer clothes,
and someone up the pathway through the field,
showing faintly white
