October 19, 2009

























one, now
another, a three-fold
terminal
of miscreant moths
drawn from light to light


the boom boom
boom of workers racing
the rain


search the sun,
the moon, the ripples
of streams . . .
a thousand monks
vending mantras


cock fighting . . .
spilling blood
after church


the fire
coming from the
dragon's mouth
is oddly wet . . .
a tulip in winter


she gives her
two young boys the love
spring denied her


a friend of
mine died this morning . . .
tired, with too
much to do and a
heart that couldn't keep pace


half mast . . .
even the moon tonight
weeps for you


overwhelmed?
the sun sets in the
east, instead
of the west, the
moon eating butterflies


deep morning . . .
a laborer chats
with the stars . .


fate, the four
letter word hanging from
talismans
no one wears anymore,
at flea markets


think of the
ox tonight when winter
wakens you
