in the evening
greater than the sun and moon
groaning shadows

inexplicably lightens

evening sea fog
descending into sun-dried grass

how much I mourn her
that lithe and sensuous frame –
distributed in dust
beyond this physical world
transformed into cosmic dust

WHITE CRANE
How I wish to call
A white crane from Fukei,
But for this cold rain.

TRIPPY-TUMBLING THURSDAYS
I spy with me wee eyes…
this moonless night
piercing through the pitch black
