afternoon heat
honey makers and honey eaters
at the water’s edge

bitter tannins

the sparrow rests on the road

too long

these haiku…
falling almond blossoms
in a spring breeze

rolling thunder
empty grain trucks
in the summer heat

taiko drumbeat
the underpass at
Shin-Osaka

step-by-step
shuffling the stone
in my shoe

in silence –
the rise and fall
of the cat’s purr
