hot oil sizzles
on an iron frying pan
kitchen god speaks

2012-06-1

night drizzle
is that donkey's braying
filled with pain?

2012-06-2

after the solstice
this summer heat
still the same

2012-06-2

midnight -
the windy silence
of the sickle moon

2012-06-2

darkening street -
two babblers on a wire
and then the moon

2012-06-2

midnight -
my earphones
keep out the silence

2012-07-1

storm-washed sky -
the bird songs
clearer

2012-07-1

cool breeze -
a thousand things undone
I watch the moon

2012-07-1

through the window
half a mirror showing
a quarter room

2012-07-2

still night -
the smell of fried fish drowns out
the traffic sounds

2012-07-2

grey-yellow dawn
a dove's urgent cooing
and the rain

2012-08-2

rain on leaves tiles earth 
flute notes slither through
the water sounds

2012-08-2

moonless
suddenly the silence
bigbangs into barking

2012-08-2

veins of lightning
split the sky - 
smell of wet earth

2012-08-2

unhurried
the egret whiter
than the clouds

2012-08-2

night rain
a bat wings its way to
tomorrow

2012-09-1

monsoon clouds - 
a heron bathes in a pool
of light

2012-09-1

night silence -
despite the dogs, despite
a crying baby

2013-01-1

red poppies...
the butterfly always just
out of reach

2013-02-1

cricket song
softly, outlasting
the trucks
