pearls of dew

on the coat she left

behind

Daibutsu’s nostril

too fat to fit, I postpone

enlightenment

faint embers

suddenly the ginger cat

on my lap

dying fire

in the silence, the snoring

of a cat

coronation day

the red leaves of the maple

slowly falling

©️sbwright2023

on a cold morning

steam rising from his scalp

splitting wood
