almost full moon
knowing what's for dinner
I still check it out

2007-03-1

election results
the muezzin's call
like a lament

2007-12-2

darkening trees
the steady shrilling
of cicadas

2008-06-2

February chill
a punctured heart balloon
bright red in the dust

2009-01-2

declining moon
the old man's laughter
turns to coughing

2009-02-2

petal-strewn earth
a mynah hops into
a patch of sunlight

2009-04-2

roosting egrets
the lake's silence settles
on everything

2009-09-1

naked light bulb
the rain on the leaves
barely audible

2009-11-1

another year
the inscription hard to read
with all the grass

2009-11-2

between fiery clouds
and shadowed earth
a string of egrets

 2010-04-1

shrilling cicadas
two women smile
at something else

2010-06-2

dim porch light
I spit orange seeds
into the darkness

2010-12-1

night rain
a bus rumbles through
the croaking of frogs

2011-07-1

red sun
the air glitters
with dragonflies

2010-12-1

brown earth
a hawk's reflection glides
across the puddle

2011-08-1

night rain -
baking smells from the house
with the jasmine

2011-08-1

last light
listening for the silence
behind the rain

2011-08-2

the moon's emerged
now water drips only
under the trees

2011-08-2

deep silence
that crack in the wall
looks wider tonight

2011-09-2

night silence
a facebook cry
of loneliness
