spring gust
the dress of the bride
bellies out

this year again
autumn arrived-on my hand
a little brown spot

migrating birds
my husband bids them goodbye
as to our sons

Perseid shower
I fall
with every star

planting flowers
on the family grave
strong roots

unexplored world 
from behind the neighbor's fence 
a cosmos
