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

Selected Work
 
frigid night-
the bowl of soup
becomes my universe
 
neither the rosebush
nor blue sky cheer me today,
but the bird's song...
 
 
 
sunrise songs
birds drinking
the light
 
clock sprung ahead
lunch tastes
the same
 
 
 
months after the blossoms:
i remember to notice
the cherry tree
 
rain doesn't stop
the cardinal from April
singing
