april fools ...
a merchant bottles
river fog
april rain ...
trees splatter blood
with each nail
an old man
crunching oak leaves ...
lonely path
godwit prints
mark where they were
and this ache ...
bubbling spring ...
joy bursts between
old photos
paschal moon ...
dark matter ravishes
the light
paschal moon ...
light struggles through
the abyss
paschal moon ...
darkness engulfs
the garden
paschal moon ...
crosses litter
the highway
paschal moon ...
sunrise lingers
in its tomb
easter vigil ...
Jesus waits entombed
in teeming malls
shorter days ...
crosses litter paths
with shadows
after dusk ...
shadows crucify
the light
morning glory ...
shopping malls open
their doors
unquenched love ...
rising floods too
drain away
gliding
out of season -
black swans
autumn fog ...
brush strokes level
a mountain
second childhood -
a pendulum clock
now marks time
cats in love -
the familiar ache
from this touch
after summer --
even embers spend
their passion
day of reckoning
the penitent renders
his due
with nightfall
even embers spend
their passion
waiting room -
shadows lengthen
the queue
silent spring ...
the song in my heart
has sprouted wings
distant spring ...
rain trickles over
autumn leaves
one by one
leaves fall away ...
autumn wind
paschal moon ...
the light within
death valley
rough-hewn wood
yields now to nails ...
tree of life
second day ...
what stones weigh down
those wings?
morning star ...
dewdrops moisten
worm cast mounds
fallen leaves
going the distance ...
field of dreams
leaves on edge ...
menacing winds
on the move
Fukushima ...
an efflorescence
blossoms
mirror mist ...
the name of God
runs in beads
river fog -
the murmur of
foetal dreams
dimming light ...
black swans dissolve
before me
gnawing at
the dream of myself -
spring reflection
creaking joints -
again he brings down
the house
mist reveals
each valley's fold...
secret flux
flea-bitten child -
an apparition of
cherry blossoms
pale fire
snatching blossoms
from the sun
foetal moon ...
the heartbeat flickering
in these candles
dewfall ...
bread rises
from words
words spiral
into ink smudges -
falling leaves
pain carves
a pretense of words ...
chiselled moon
