Through fleeing clouds
quivering new moon
pale calligraphy
....................................
tiny crooked cup
stolen by the beggar child
look the other way
.....................................
thin blue skin
in a cold winter bath
scrubbing hard
.....................................
between lily pads
a serious little face
koi kisses her nose
....................................
heartbroken lines
crossing down the page
emptying into the sea
.................................
longing for friend
alone on a journey
the cries of geese
.................................
the arrow hums
a rider hits the target
the perfect word
quivering new moon
pale calligraphy
....................................
tiny crooked cup
stolen by the beggar child

heartbroken lines
crossing down the page
emptying into the sea
.................................
longing for friend
alone on a journey
the cries of geese
.................................
the arrow hums
a rider hits the target
the perfect word
late for work
