Selected Work
 
frosty night,
echo of a bell
opens the sky
 
rising sun
the flies and I
remain still
 
 
 
crowded square--
a mime's glance
crosses mine
 
gentle rain--
the soothing sound
of her steps
 
 
 
lay-over in Rome--
my watch stops
on Moscow Time
 
first leaf-buds--
my neighbor's
new gossip
