Haiku

 

the fire
fades in a dying wolf's eyes
new moon

 

 

mid-autumn
festival in Toronto...
the full moon and I

 

 

between
whiteness of sky and earth
a black hearse moving

 

 

first snowflakes…
squeezing another poem out
of my mind

 

 

my Bruce Lee dream
fades in a spring breeze...
Tai Chi moves

 

 

the smell
of damp summer grass
her moon face

 

 

those eyes
of a cornered dog...
starry night

 

 

Haiku Sequence

 

Zen Mind

 

Zen class...
the rectangular shape
of blue skies

the humming
of an air conditioner
zazen

between
the ticking of the clock...
scent of Chanel

fleeting clouds
at an autumn sunset
why zazen?

 

 

Hertory* of Love

 

rocks
under the melting snow
last love

moonlight
through spring rain clouds
her eyes

her hair
spilling over us
summer stream

harvest moon
floating in our glasses
her mouth on mine

her ashes
vanishing into the sky
first snowflakes

Author's Note: *"Hertory" is a new word coined in the late 1960s, referring to history (re-stated as "his story") written from a feminist perspective.
