Always strangers.

*************************************
HAIKU

spring evening ~
buildings shudder
as a road splits open

Earthquake / India Saijiki



harvesting rice ~
the long grain
of basmati

paddy fields ~
a slingshot drives
the crows away

a belch breaks
the ensuing silence ~
a meal of rice

Rice / India Saijiki

half eaten
by a dragon
the crescent moon

Quote : Mainichi Daily News, Feb. 15, 2007


:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


eating through
the wooden handcart…
these termites


tropics—
a sweaty pot-bellied man
naps on his cart


rowing boats
down flooded streets—
this monsoon rain
