earthen trail

through long day

the lives of pines

one hundred and one haiku
 another start

moon and star themselves
end the fast

moon and star
must break the fast

ocean waves

write and erase

the girl I once was

home, trailing spiders' webs  -
Wordsworth
trailed clouds

evening beach -
a row of sandpies
waiting for the tide

***

plage du soir -
un rang de pâtés de sable
attend la marée

slow
southern evening
the fireflies

((Mainichi Japan) September 2, 2011)

cherry leaves
turn yellow and fall
cold breeze

clover hills
the gentle wind caresses
these countless ones

moon and star themselves
end the fast

one hundred and one haiku
another start

honey bees
pollinating the lavender
yawning cat

a flock of geese
fly into a power line
and light the night sky

grey clouds
reflected in a wet beach
seagulls

so let the rain
bounce at this bench
feet pulse tired

pre- Irene shift
doe huddles under truck
in the pelting rain

hissing tyres
on the road outside
hissing cats

detour by the public garden
to get back to the office
- late-summer flowers

***

crochet par le square
pour regagner le bureau
fleurs de fin d'été

breezy day
brings intermittent sunshine
cumulus clouds

next door's cat
in the dry patch of the garden
ours bristles
