beep of a horn:
      crossing the dry river
      an orderly herd of bulls

Selected Work
 
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
