abundance is... (2)

abundance is...

dreaming sky

dreaming sky...

a broken swing sunk

in the bluebells

(Indian kukai entry, May, 2014)

Paper boat and all night rain

 paper boat
big enough to hold
a dream or two

faintly
the sound of anklets
all night rain

Shiki kukai, April, 2014

abandoned barn--

and me

From A Hundred Gourds

A sparrow, a dandelion and the mist...from last year's A Hundred Gourds, issue 2.4.

sipping stale coffee the same sparrow as yesterday

even before i could wish you were gone dandelion

loneliness-

each peak wrapped

in its own mist

 Santoka says:

if I sell my rags
and buy some sake
will there still be loneliness...
