Things Come and Go

Swallowed by darkness
A tempest to lash one's soul

And then the storm breaks

Sad Impression

Pressed feathers
Against a window pane
Tokens of sorrow

Despair

Empty web
Hungry spider
Broken dreams

Inevitability

Lay with the hourglass
Watch time and form slip away
Empty memories

(Re)Birth

Inside Mother's womb
The unborn child looking out
Now born to the sky

Weakness

worn by the water
the riverbank gives way to
the constant pressure

Bad Girl

A yellow jacket
With black-striped blouse and slacks
A bad girl’s attire

Transformation

Dandelion seed
Drifting in the gentle breeze
Patience. You will land.

Migration

The songbird flew south
Never again looking north
Eternal winter

The Harvest

Swather blades combing
long-haired wheat to the ground
A barber's rhythm

The Tea Party

A setting for two
An empty cup and saucer
One lump or two? Three!

The Snail

The slow traveler
Its life carried on its back
Lessons to live by

I'm a Joke

So then the Clown says,
"Your the one who is a joke"
"Fuck you, Clown", I wept

Untitled

Yellow, green and red
A Jackson Pollock master
Entitled, "Windshield"

Autumn

Embarrassed leaf
Your cheeks turning rosy red
Time to go to sleep

Winter

Eternal darkness
A dark, warm blanket laid tight
Over a cold bed

Destiny

Leaf in a whirlpool
Where will your travels take you?
To where you should be

Untitled

One more stone to bear
How I love the crushing weight
Repeat second line

Perspective

What news, butterfly
Sunning on the dark, sad mud
The joy of colour!

Love

Love is rain when wet,
but so sad when it is snow
My sweet summer storm

Lost

Certain little ant
Can you give me direction?
I seem to be lost
