summer's end
remembering the wish
made with the red star
elizabeth
always the young queen
in my wallet
in aussieland
with a baby kangaroo
in my bossom
in aussieland
a baby kangaroo
hangs on to me
land of senryu
the mist lifts
to show a clown
land of senryu
the mist lifts
to show a comedian
still so single
he crashes another apple
to remember this summer
first day of autumn -
the longing to buy
a new shirt
....
American homeless
the privilege of sleeping
like the other half of world
counting
the blessings
another national day
slained orang utans
tourists chip in
condolence at hotel
yam field
sparkling droplets jumping
from leaf to leaf
the wave lifts itself
and rushes in, like a woman
running in her blouse
her big zircon ring
the anxiety when new friend
says he is a jeweler
US now realises
the real Iraqi problem -
a power struggle cauldron
in troubled water
looking into dark river
his scowled face
yesteryears' pastors -
the congregation passes
by slanted white crosses
child asks to join
granny in watering plant
her laughter when he pees
beach
little crabs
always running for cover
heard - late grandmom's
jealousies - row and row
of broken crockeries
the last time mars came
we were hardly monkey
now it's just a telescope away
still waiting for the
gadget to read all naughty
vibrations
muddy pond
the child throws in his bait
a loud splash
autumn chiba
a small basket of persimmons
only 150 yen
;
wilted rose
blown away
a burst
