Suspect Device, 2022

hazy moonlight 

a child gathers 

the pieces of his toys 

detention center – 

the flute’s low notes 

deepen the silence 

gray clouds 

the lingering shadow 

of migratory birds

------

thundering jets
the tears ripple
in many eyes

rubble ashes
swirling around
the unkindness of ravens

Creatrix, 2022

summer drizzle—
a young starling preens
its feathers

countryside hotel
sharing my salad
with the bumblebees

chicken soup
with a dash of saffron
winter twilight

Creatrix, issue 58, September 2022

-------

late autumn wind
from the empty birdbath
a cricket’s chirp


midlife crisis—
a raindrop sways
on the leaf blade


midnight sun
not enough light
to see my shadow

picking beets— 

the traces of winter 

in my hands

kintsugi – 

the broken leaf fills 

with sunlight
