Swallows in the sky,
Nests waiting in mulberry.
Pilgrimage circle.
Winter respite completed,
Final frost left in the north.
Return South

Road
Silent the morning.
In the darkness before dawn,
Chaparral scents air.
Black pathway stretches onward,
Into the golden morning.

Promise
Fallow the earth lays.
In the treetops life springs forth,
Deep roots waken first.

Nine Tales
Cool feast day in hell.
Red suit and tails wedding,
Poison bells ringing.
Roar
Winds roar from the west,
Through branch’s rosy blossoms.
Sand gnaws at the skin.
Silence
Darkness at the peak,
Silence throughout the city.
In the distance barks.

Summer Entrance
Thunder shakes the sky.
Raindrop’s staccato rhythm,
Short night fantasia.
Dawn
Earthworm returns home.
Morning calm unstirred by wind,
Dark air hanging warm.
New Journey
Pathways close behind.
Forward the stream flows slowly,
Bearing me with it.
