autumn wind, book 8, 2023

 

storm brewing 

a hyperobject enters 

the group chat 

juggling with 

the emojis 

R. C. Thomas (UK) / Hifsa Ashraf (Pakistan)

James Webb 

where do you fall 

on life's spectrum 

landing converted 

in the rushes

Book 7, the place where they come across the moon

Two collaborative tan-renga with John Hawkhead 

spilling over 

the neighbour's fence 

a tea rose 

one last glimpse 

before his goodbye

John Hawkhead (UK) / Hifsa Ashraf (Pakistan) 

autumn drizzle 

a red cicada thrums 

from an old can 

the old hobo steps out 

into his morning shower

Fields of Gold: poems of peace

silhouettes of birds
one after another
dissipating into
the crimson horizon
